Rays Defeat Red Sox 7-2 in Season Finale

The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Boston Red Sox 7-2 on Saturday, clinching their final series of the season and setting the stage for a potential .500 finish in the last game. Junior Caminero starred with a two-run homer and three RBIs, while Shane Baz pitched six strong innings, allowing only two runs. The loss marked Kutter Crawford's 16th of the season, the most in the majors, as he gave up six runs in 4.1 innings. Both teams enter the final game of the season with matching 80-81 records, vying for third place in the American League East. The Rays hope to complete a sweep, which would avoid their first losing season since 2017. Sunday’s game will feature Ryan Pepiot for the Rays and Quinn Priester making his first start for the Red Sox.
