A 6-1 victory over the AL East-leading Rays was their 13th\u00a0consecutive win, tied for the second-longest run in franchise history with a 13-gamer in 1948, and two games shy of the 15-game gold standard from 1946.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=5298\">\u2018A love letter to Nantucket\u2019: \u2018Five-Star Weekend\u2019 finds a warm welcome from Nantucket residents<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>It featured plenty of oddities. Sox starter Sonny Gray lacked his typical precision, issuing a season-high four walks while throwing just 54 percent of his pitches for strikes. But the Rays were 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position against him, as Gray (12-1, 2.48 ERA) allowed just one run and stranded seven runners over six innings. Thus, he recorded his ninth straight quality start \u2014 the longest streak by a Sox pitcher since Chris Sale in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>The one run the Rays scored against Gray came on a Victor Mesa Jr. inside-the-park homer that pinballed around Fenway\u2019s Triangle, resulting in a 360-foot sprint that gave Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead in top of the second. But the Sox tied it in the bottom of the inning on Andruw Monasterio\u2019s RBI double, then took charge of the game with a rarity of a rally in the third.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>The Sox scored three runs off Rays starter Shane McClanahan without benefit of a hit. They loaded the bases on a pair of walks and a hit batter, then scored runs on three straight pitches: A passed ball, a fielder\u2019s choice grounder on which Rays third baseman Junior Caminero\u2019s throw clipped Wilyer Abreu\u2019s elbow as the outfielder slid into the plate, and an RBI groundout by Romy Gonzalez.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=5296\">Gorgeous but self-serious, \u2018The Odyssey\u2019 is at sea thanks to its own bleakness<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>The burst put the Sox ahead, 4-1, giving Gray room to cruise. The Sox added to their advantage when Willson Contreras sliced an opposite-field, two-run homer over the Sox bullpen in right-center in the fifth inning for a 6-1 lead.
