Fenway Park was the site of a competitive game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox.

The Boston Red Sox converted a terrific effort from starter Ted Burton into a win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. The Red Sox won the game by a final score of 4-2. In 7.2 innings, Burton surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs.

Wilmer Flores, who finished 3rd in the AL in batting average with .333 in 2019, came through for Boston with a run-scoring ground out in the bottom of the second. The first baseman went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 2 runs batted in.

"When this team comes together and plays the way we can, we can compete with anyone," said Flores. "I think we're going to keep proving that."

Boston has 3 straight wins, Tampa Bay 3 straight losses.
