MLB Baseball News :: Tampa Bay Rays Thump Boston Red Sox 9-1 to take series lead.

Posted on 2008-10-14 by Gooner

The Tampa Bay Rays smashed a 9-1 road victory over the Boston Red Sox and a 2-1 lead in the AL championship series.

That Rays blew the game open in the 3rd innings when BJ Upton hit a three-run home run and Evan Longoria also homered off Jon Lester to set up a five run lead.

Matt Garza held Boston scoreless through six innings as Tampa Bay put the defending World Series champions in a postseason hole for the first time since they overcame a 3-1 deficit in last year's ALCS against Cleveland.

The win gives Tampa Bay the home advantage back again as the two teams will face each other again on Tuesday, Oct 14th in game four in Boston.
