Connelly Early gave Tampa Bay four hits across seven innings, and two swings were all Boston needed. Wilyer Abreu drove a 1-2 slider 427 feet to right center in the third, and Ceddanne Rafaela added a sweeper to left field in the fourth. Junior Caminero squared up two balls at 109 and 104.2 mph, and both turned into outs. Garrett Whitlock needed ten pitches for the eighth and Aroldis Chapman eighteen for the ninth.
