BOSTON — Yandy Díaz snapped a sixth-inning tie with a two-run single and the Tampa Bay Rays held off the Boston Red Sox 4-3. Taj Bradley pitched five solid innings in his second major league start this year, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk with six strikeouts. Kevin Kelly fanned two in a perfect ninth for his second career save and first this season. Wilyer Abreu and Rafael Devers homered for Boston. Tanner Houck allowed three runs — one earned — and five hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out seven and walked three. The right-hander tossed a career-high 112 pitches, most by a Red Sox starter since Nick Pivetta threw 112 in his shutout against Houston on May 18, 2022.
