ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. — Zack Littell allowed one hit over seven innings and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Boston Red Sox 2-0. Littell (8-9), who made his team-leading 28th start in his first full season as starter, struck out seven and did not issue a walk. After Edwin Uceta pitched a perfect eighth, Garrett Cleavinger worked a 1-2-3 ninth to get his sixth save in seven chances. Nick Sogard's two-out single in the third was Boston's only hit of the game. Brandon Lowe and Dylan Carlson drove in Tampa Bay's runs. Boston fell four games back of the third AL wild card. The Rays are five back.
