Rays top Red Sox for three-game sweep, widen lead in AL East MORE:
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — “The guys put it together,” Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. “They played really, really good baseball. A lot of tight games. They're a good team, we're a good team. To be able to win three, that's not easy to do. So credit the guys a lot.”“We're still here,” Boston manager Alex Cora said. “Obviously, we don't like losing. We want to be more consistent. It's just four games. We know that. We still have a good team.
“I think it kind of speaks for itself, I think we came out and we played our baseball.” Lowe said of Rays' play during the sweep. “In all honesty, that's kind of what we expect out of ourselves. We know we're not going to win every single game, but if we can play like we did these past few days we'll be in good shape.”Alex Verdugo had a leadoff double off Drew Rasmussen in the seventh and scored on a wild pitch with two out, pulling the Red Sox within 3-2.
“Tonight we had a lot of traffic,” Cora said. “We need to do a better job controlling the strike zone in certain situations. When we control the strike zone, we're good. We don't, we get into trouble.”
