Rays vs. Red Sox Game Highlights (6/4/23) | MLB Highlights

Tanner Halk will get the ball for the Boston Red Sox. Three and four. ERA at 530. The Red Sox are 17 and 12 in his 29 career starts. And here is Yandy Diaz. He is de-aging. Swing and a miss. He puts him away on three pitches. Down goes Diaz. No one out, nobody on for Josh Lowe. That's a base hit. Shot to the left of Valdez and through the hole on the right side of the infield. So there's a base hit for Josh Lowe. Randy Rosarena about to step in. And one of many who will run in their lineup. And he's going to take off. Short hop play here by Turner. And guns are crossed together. Here's Harold Ramirez, the ninth inning hero yesterday. And that's going to be wide. Ball four. Two men on with two men out for Luke Raley. On the infield, a one hopper. Valdez will go to first. And in plenty of time for out number three. Taj Bradley for Tampa Bay coming off a really good start against the Cubs. His first team that Taj Bradley is facing in the major leagues twice. The Boston Red Sox. Doogie went three for five in game one of the twin bill. And another extra base hit. And getting a lot of those lately. Going to hit that one pretty well to the left of Rosarena. Back to the wall. And that one's going to bounce off the wall and past him. And another extra base hit for Verdugo. As he leads off the game with a double. That'll send up Rafael at 245 with 13 home runs. 48 driven in. A chop toward the middle. Walls will take it to first. And over to third goes Verdugo. To a one out with a man at third. Here's Justin Turner. His last five. Batting at 271. He's homered six times. And he gets what he needs. A strikeout there. Big strikeout for Taj Bradley. Kushida doubled in both of yesterday's games. Six extra base hits his last five games. He shoots it into left. And Rosarena is going to be there. And he makes the catch in left center field. Just as he got to the track. 0-2 pitch. Swing and a miss to get him. Not a good slider. His second K. Two balls. Two strikes. Two out. Tanner trying to make it a fast inning. And he will. Nice. On the inside to strike him out. He gets him in order. Down to second. Moose Kass is back to back. Ball fours here from Bradley. Opens the door here for Valdez. And a cut in the miss. He is out on strikes. So two men left on base. 3-0. And a four pitch walk to Bethencourt. To begin the inning. For the Rays. So here's Yandy Diaz. Up the right side. That's going to be in there for a base hit. Verdugo with a backhanded stop. Over to third base. Goes Bethencourt. And the Rays have men on the corners. As Yandy Diaz takes that pitch the other way. But Josh Lowe with an opportunity. On two. And it's lifted back into center. Duran is going to be there to make the catch. The tag at third. Bethencourt heads to the plate. He is safe there. And trailing into second base. Ahead of the throw back there. Is Yandy Diaz. But you cannot float that ball up like that. And allow the runner to get to second base. 1-2 pitch. Chopped up the middle. Kike behind the bag. Two down. Diaz safely into third. And will bring up the DH. I'm trying to get him. And he does. Put him away on three. So he did limit the damage. Only one run scores. 1-0 Tampa Bay. Alex Verdugo. Top of the order for Boston leading off. He sees him well. The 2-1. On the line into left field. Another hit for Verdugo. He's hustling around first. Coming in on it is the left fielder. Arozarena. Spins. Throws to second. Not in time. Foot first slide for Verdugo. And he's got a couple of doubles. 19 out of the season now. And then even better was the hustle. And reading the play. It's right in front of you. You have that opportunity to stop if you need to. So once again it'll fall to Yoshida to try and pick up this RBI. Masa with a 394 on base percent. He'll tag that one. He pulled it. Down for a hit. That'll score Verdugo. And this time ripping one to right. He has tied the ball game for his 33rd run batted in. And the 500th professional RBI. For Masatake Yoshida. So a base hit and a walk in the race. Put the first two men aboard. Here's Taylor Walls after the meeting on the mound with Dave Bush. A little tamper. Out from back of the plate. Throw to third. He's going to be safe there. Turner could not get back to the bag in time. So the bases are loaded. Nobody out. Margold. He struck out first time up. And a line drive base hit and a left off the bat at Margo. Raley will score. Paredes heads to the plate. He will score without a play. And the Rays break out in front. Paredes doesn't score. If not for the bobble by Yoshida. The runner at second two down. Leaves it for Luke Raley. Ground ball. That's going to be fair. Up the right field line. Kicks against the stands. Here comes Josh Lowe and to score. Raley in head first. He is safe at second base. And the Rays tack on another run. It's four to one. Verdugo who's got a couple of doubles. Getting on base. Red Sox need to get him in. That one hit toward the gap again by Verdugo. He's going to drop that one to the warning track. He's got his third double today. Maybe more. Yes he's rounding. He is in the third. And he slides in. This time a triple. He is three for three. Three extra base hits today. Didn't have to ricochet that one. Hammered by Rafi. That'll be caught by Lowe. He's going to pick up an RBI on it. As Dougie tags he is in the score. That'll make it for two. Yandy Diaz at the plate with a runner at first two down. Runner takes off. And that ball is going to be chopped through the open right side. Margaux is going to go to third. They're going to wave him around. The throw comes back to the infield. The runner has scored. Now the throw back into second base goes into center field. And that's going to give Diaz an opportunity. And he will circle the bases and score standing up. How about that. The Rays pick up two runs. And that looked like Little League. As Tampa Bay steals a couple of runs running wild as the Red Sox throw it around. And it is six to two. There's a two two. And right by him. That's 97 to strike him out. Caleb Ward coming back and sitting down six in a row. In the bottom of the ninth inning. So two up and two down. So Sean Armstrong faces Rafael Debra. Here's the two two and a swing and a miss. This one is over. Debra is out on strikes. Armstrong picks up the strikeout to end it. And the Rays win this one six two. And they are now six and one against the Sox this year. The Rays now have taken two out of three in this series. And look for the series win. Their 42nd win of the year. They're 42 and 19.
