Zack Littell delivered an outstanding performance, allowing just one hit over seven innings, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 2-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Littell's strong outing featured seven strikeouts with no walks, enhancing his team's chances of winning.

Boston's struggles continue, as they sit four games behind in the chase for the final AL wild card after a disappointing record since the All-Star break. The Red Sox hope to capitalize on upcoming games against the Minnesota Twins.
