The Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 10-0 in the first game of a doubleheader to extend their winning streak to 10 games. Boston starter Jake Bennett threw six innings and allowed one hit while lowering his season ERA to 2.35, a mark that ranks fourth-best among Red Sox pitchers through their first nine career starts in the Live Ball Era. Masataka Yoshida was a triple shy of the cycle. Jarren Duran and Carlos Narváez each drove in three runs. The club has surged from 32-46 on June 24 with a minus-7 run differential to 47-48 with a plus-37 run differential. The victory moves Boston into a tie for the third American League wild-card spot. The team returns for the nightcap in about three hours with a chance to reach .500 if they complete the doubleheader sweep.
