The Boston Red Sox crushed the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays 10-0 on Friday for their 10 straight win.
The Red Sox are now tied with the Seattle Mariners and Minnesota Twins for the AL’s final wild-card spot. Boston was a season-high 14 games under .500 on June 18 before winning 15 of its next 17 contests.
Left-hander Jake Bennett didn’t allow a run on just one hit with one walk and three strikeouts over six innings to pick up the win.
The rookie hurler owns a 2.35 ERA with 0.88 WHIP over 53 2/3 innings this season.
