Rays fall 11-7 to Boston as a six-run eighth inning sinks Tampa Bay, ending their postseason hopes. Tampa Bay led early behind Yandy Díaz and Carson Williams, but Boston countered with T7 homer by Jarren Duran and a late onslaught that broke the game open. Everson Pereira’s ninth-inning grand slam gave the Rays a spark, but Josh Lowe’s strikeout with the tying run on deck sealed the comeback bid. Tomorrow’s rematch looms as the Rays try to salvage a final note of pride and fantasy relevance.

Key fantasy takeaways: Rays’ power hitters nudged runs early (Díaz, Williams), while the Sox bullpen stifled the rally through the middle innings. Pereira’s slam adds late-season thunder for Tampa, but the bullpen meltdown in the eighth and the decisive walk-filled stretch limit late-round DFS upside. For the last two games, rostering Rays against Boston’s arms will require sharp bullpen and lineup reads.

Noelvi Marte capped Cincinnati’s comeback with a walk-off two-run single, erasing a ninth-inning Jays rally that began with Bo Bichette’s two-run homer and Daulton Varsho’s multi-hit night.

The result tightens Toronto’s AL East lead while keeping Cincinnati’s wild-card hopes alive as the playoff picture widens.
