Double play ball for Nunez and he fumbles it, getting one out. He has struggled at second base. The lack of range is one thing, but plays like that have to be made.

Bogaerts swings over a Chirinos slider. Chirinos has been a buzzsaw through 4, throwing fewer than 12 pitches per inning.

Price misses on 4 straight to walk Refsnyder for the second straight time. He's thrown just 57 percent strikes through 18 batters. Command isn't what is was in TB - but, of course, it's different pitching outside.

Five shutout innings for David Price today, 12 on the season.

Meanwhile, the Sox have scored only 21 runs in 62 innings.

The Red Sox rotation now has an ERA of 0.88 through seven games.

Rays have retired 10 straight and 15 of 16. No score after 6 innings at Fenway Park.

The Red Sox just can't seem to separate themselves from Rays. Five close games. 0-0 in the 7th. Price out there for the 7th.

The 7th inning was probably Price's best of the day -- 1-2-3 with two punchouts. Assuming he's done, he's the first Red Sox pitcher since Mel Parnell in 1949 to open a season with 2 straight starts of 7+ shutout innings.

The Red Sox have now allowed 10 runs in the 8th inning this year - most of any AL team in any inning. (Disclaimer: small sample etc)

That Velazquez is now warming suggests that the Sox are bullish on the chances of Eduardo Rodriguez starting on Sunday.

Hector Velazquez has the 9th, which suggests Eduardo Rodriguez starts Sunday.

Hanley Ramirez gets his hands inside a cutter and punches an RBI single to center. Red Sox now down, 2-1.

Xander Bogaerts pounds a 1-2 cutter off the scoreboard in left, just over Smith's glove, for a game-tying double. That's 7 XBH so far - about as many as he had in the first month of games in 2017.

The way Bogaerts drove that ball in 2018 was different than what he's done in the past, esp last year. From the weekend: New year, new swing, and — so far — new results for Xander Bogaerts bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/… via @BostonGlobe

Out call is confirmed. To extras the Red Sox go. Again.

Kimbrel has thrown 7 of 20 pitches for strikes (35 percent). In the past, you'd likely have seen multiple mound visits.

Poyner is up in the Red Sox bullpen.

Red Sox are hitting everything hard against Kittredge. 5 balls in play at 95+ mph, incl 113 mph on Martinez's single and 111 mph on Bogaerts' lineout.

Slider below the zone for a check-swing strike, followed by 90 mph up and away for a chase swing/miss by Kiermaier vs Poyner to strand a runner on 3rd. Poyner is a fascinating oddity - a true three-pitch command reliever.

Kittredge for a third inning of work. He's at 30 pitches.

Left on left the right play against Benintendi, who has a career .576 OPS vs. southpaws. But all he needs to do here is get the ball out of the infield.

The 6-1 Sox have won six straight, four of the games by one run.

Xander Bogaerts on what a healthy and productive Hanley Ramirez means to the #RedSox :

“We’re going to win a lot more games.”
