Jacoby Ellsbury, Shane Victorino and David Ortiz took care of the offense, and Alfredo Aceves pitched five strong innings, as the Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-1 in the first game of a day/night doubleheader at Fenway Park.
Ellsbury had three hits and scored three runs and Victorino added a pair of hits and an equal number of runs; Ortiz drove in three of the Boston runs with two singles.
Aceves, making his third spot start in just over three weeks, gave up three hits and a run, walking three and striking out two. The Red Sox could get used to this version Aceves - over those three starts, he has thrown 17 innings and allowed only three runs. His outing was shortened by a rain delay that lasted a minute short of three hours.
