The Boston Red Sox edged the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3, securing a series win for rookie Roman Anthony, while Marcelo Mayer showcased his potential with a multi-home run game. Walker Buehler's strong pitching kept the Rays in check, allowing just three runs over seven innings. In a strategic move to bolster their struggling bullpen, the Sox traded for Jorge Alcala from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for Andy Lugo. Alcala has had a shaky start to the season with an 8.88 ERA but could provide the needed support. This trade comes after a bullpen collapse in a previous game against the Rays, signaling a clear intent to address the team's late-game weaknesses.
