BOSTON -- The Rays have won the first two games of this three game series in Boston, and this game was all homers. The Rays scored first in the fourth with solo shots by B.J. Upton and Evan Longoria. B.J. Upton added to the lead in the next inning with his second hit of the game, a two-run double, but Jason Varitek got the Red Sox those runs back in the bottom of the inning with a two-run shot to right. Jason Bartlett belted a solo shot in the seventh to extend the lead to three, but the Red Sox hit two solo shots in the bottom of the inning, one by Jason Varitek, his second of the game, and one by Kevin Youkilis to come within one run of the Rays lead, but the Rays hang on.
