Jake Bennett allows 1 hit in 6 innings as Red Sox extend win streak to 10 with
10-0 win over Rays
By BRENDAN McGAIR
Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) --- Rookie Jake Bennett tossed six innings of one-hit ball, and
Masataka Yoshida and Carlos Narvaez each homered as the Boston Red Sox extended
their winning streak to 10 games with a 10-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on
Friday in the first game of a doubleheader.
Narvaez and Jarren Duran each drove in three runs for Boston, which had entered
the All-Star break with nine straight wins, all on the road. With their first
10-game win streak since last July, the Red Sox (47-48) moved within one game
of .500 for the first time since their third game of this season.
Boston has allowed 14 runs during the streak, its fewest over a 10-game span
during the live ball era (since 1920).
Yoshida, Navarez and Caleb Durbin each had three hits. The Red Sox outhit the
AL East-leading Rays 15-3.
Bennett (5-3) struck out three as he won his fourth straight start. After
issuing his only walk with one out in the first, the left-hander retired nine
straight before Junior Caminero singled in the fourth.
Alex Gamboa worked the final three innings for his first save.
With the Red Sox leading 2-0, Yoshida hit the first pitch of the fourth by
Griffin Jax (5-7) to right field, wrapping it around Pesky's Pole for his
fourth homer of the season. Navarez cleared the Green Monster in the seventh
for his third homer.
Duran chased Jax with a two-run single as part of Boston's six-run sixth
inning. Jax allowed seven runs on eight hits in five-plus innings as his ERA
jumped from 3.47 to 4.08.
All-Star Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras served the fifth and final
game of his suspension for his actions during a benches-clearing incident
against Washington last month. The suspension was reduced from seven games on
appeal.
