The Red Sox were manhandled by Yonny Chirinos for eight innings as they fell to the Rays 5-1 at Fenway Park on Friday night.
Chirinos was perfect through five innings and really only had himself in trouble once - a bases-loaded situation in the sixth that he managed to work out of by striking out Andrew Benintendi and Rafael Devers.
He held the Red Sox to just two hits and a pair of walks.
Boston's lone run came in the ninth on an RBI double by Xander Bogaerts.
Rick Porcello (pictured) took the loss with his record falling to 4-6. He was charged with four runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings.
Bogaerts had two of Boston's four hits in the game.
The Red Sox and Rays play a split doubleheader on Saturday.
