Well, the Red Sox fell to the Tampa Bay Rays, 6-5, with Daisuke Matsuzaka blowing a 5-1 lead and Ramon Ramirez allowing a run in the seventh to allow the Rays to take the lead. Eric Patterson led the offensive effort for the Sox, with two home runs. With the loss, the Red Sox fell to 49-34, 2.5 games in back of the New York Yankees, and 0.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays. I was not entirely surprised. I mean, Dice-K is not the best, and Ramirez is one of the Sox's worst pitchers.
Trivia
Did you know that this is Kevin Cash's second stint with the BoSox? (His first was in 2008)
This game was Eric Patterson's first multi-homer game in his career, and his first two with the Red Sox.
See you tomorrow! We can only hope the Red Sox do a little better tonight, July 6!
