Tampa Bay Rays 3 – 5 Boston Red Sox

MLB · July 17, 2026 · Final
🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Boston Red Sox took down the Tampa Bay Rays tonight, five to three, and it was Wilyer Abreu who made sure of it.

Tampa Bay came out swinging hard in the first. DeLuca singled to left, two runs came in, and a throwing error by Duran made it worse — suddenly the Rays were up two to nothing and looking dangerous. But Boston answered immediately, and that's where Abreu announced himself. He went deep to right center, four hundred twenty-two feet, driving in Rafaela to tie it, and then Contreras followed with a homer to left center to flip the lead. Just like that, three to two Red Sox.

Tampa Bay wasn't done. Caminero, who had a terrific night going two for four with a run scored, launched one four hundred twenty-three feet to left in the third to knot it back up at three. And then Abreu again — his second homer of the night, four hundred five feet — put Boston back on top four to three.

The Rays never recovered from that. Seigler doubled to right in the fourth, Cheng came in, and it was five to three, and that was the ballgame.

Abreu finished two for four with two home runs and three runs batted in. That's the story tonight. Boston wins it five to three, and Abreu was simply the difference. That's your post-game report. Sports Desk, signing off.
