In Saturday's American League East matchup at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, Richie Palacios's single in the ninth inning scored Junior Caminero to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 2-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. The Rays have now won three consecutive walk-off games during their homestand and reduced their magic number to clinch first place in the AL East to five games. Prior to Palacios’s crucial hit, the Rays had been 0 for 17 with runners in scoring position in the series' initial two games. The win also brings the Rays’ record to seven victories in their last eight games, while the Red Sox missed a chance to secure a wild-card spot by failing to capitalize on opportunities during their ninth-inning at-bats against Bryan Baker.
