The Rays picked up another run in the ninth off reliever Javier Lopez. Kapler doubled with one out but was nailed by center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury trying to go to third on a bloop single by Iwamura, who took second on the throw. Bartlett singled Iwamura to third, and then Iwamura scored when Lopez couldn’t find Crawford’s comebacker at his feet and reached on an infield single.
The Red Sox were retired in the ninth and lost 7-2 as Lester’s 11-game winning streak at Fenway came to an end.
