Harold Ramirez hit a two-run double in the top of the ninth inning to finish a 3-for-5 performance and lift the Tampa Bay Rays past the host Boston Red Sox, 4-2, on Saturday in the nightcap of a doubleheader.
Francisco Mejia added two hits and a run to help the Rays split the twin bill and the first half of the four-game series.
Ramirez's line-drive double to right plated both runners, giving Tampa a lead it wouldn't relinquish. Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford set down six of the first seven batters he faced, but Manuel Margot's leadoff double to left in the third inning helped the Rays push across the go-ahead run. The visitors were held to one run in the inning as Crawford recorded the final out, and then reliever Justin Garza retired the side in order an inning later.
