Brock Holt singled home Mookie Betts in the top of the tenth inning as the Red Sox beat the Rays 4-3 in Tampa on Friday night.
Rick Porcello (pictured) started for the Red Sox going six innings in a no-decision. He allowed three runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out five.
Boston scored first with a pair of runs in the second inning on an RBI double by Alejandro De Aza and a sacrifice fly by Jackie Bradley Jr.
Tampa cut the lead in half in the bottom of the inning with an RBI double by Marc Krauss.
Boston pushed the lead to 3-1 in the fourth on - of all things - a steal of home by...wait for it...Mike Napoli.
Honest.
OK...so it was part of a double steal. Either way, the run scored.
Tampa tied the game in the six off of Porcello on a sacrifice fly and a wild pitch.
Mookie Betts led off the tenth with a double and came home on the single by Holt.
Koji Uehara secured his fifteenth save of the year with a clean tenth inning.
