It was another bad outing for Daisuke Matsuzaka as the Devil Rays got 6 runs early on. Once the game got into the Tampa’s bullpen, the Red Sox made an valiant effort but just fell one run short. It’s frustrating when they lose to a team like the Devil Rays especially when the Yankees lose. Anyways, the Sox are off today getting a much needed break before the Angels come in for 4 games in 3 days. So while the Red Sox players are resting today, let’s take a look at the headlines and happenings from the Boston and Tampa area newspapers.
