RED SOX 0 RAYS 3 F...Don't look now but that Three-Trick PONY in the AL East is about to be a Four-Trick Pony as here comes the MADDON Bunch..."A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report" #BOSvsTB #RaysHardball #FireTheCannons

The Boston Red Sox have more issues than just between the Chalk as Big Spenders are limning up to see what is available from the Carmines to put their Roster over the top. Meanwhile Small-Market and Budget the Tampa Bay Rays appear to be never out of the AL East Race as they have reeled of nine W's in a row including their latest a 3-0 shutout of the Carmines in the "Big Tropicana Juice Box"....Tropicana Field!  

Behind Five Pitchers and Starter Jeremy Hellickson leaving in the 5th after 4 2/3 innings of shutout hardball the Rays beat the Red Sox 3-0 to come within 6.5 games of the AL East leading Orioles. The Rays Pitchers had just enough help as they needed just one run as Matt Joyce (1st Inning Run-Scoring Single) and Kevin Kiermaier (4th Inning Run-Scoring Single) gave the Rays a 2-0 lead. Then for insurance purposes Ben Zobrist hits a Solo Bomb off Carmines Starter John Lackey for the final score of 3-0 Rays. Lackey wasn't bad its just that when you get no Run Support you have to throw a No-Hitter or throw scoreless innings an that didn't happen!

The Rays move to 51-53 as they come from the Shows Dead back in the AL East Race. Then Carmines at 47-57 are fast fading into the night...
