MLB: Red Sox complete road sweep of AL East-leading Rays

-

Christian Vazquez hit a sacrifice fly in the 11th inning and the Red Sox completed an uplifting three-game sweep of the AL East-leading Rays with a 4-3 victory in St. Petersburg, Fla. Rafael Devers singled off Jose Alvarado to start the 11th and went to second when Michael Chavis walked.

Both runners moved up a base on Jackie Bradley’s sacrifice bunt and Vazquez followed with his fly that Kevin Kiermaier ran down in center field.

After starting the season by losing eight of 10, the defending World Series champions are 7-5 over the last 12 games and went from eight to five games behind the Rays. In Milwaukee, Cody Bellinger reached over the right field wall to rob

Christian Yelich in the eighth inning of yet another home run, then hit a solo drive off Josh Hader with two outs in the ninth to lift the Dodgers over the Brewers, 6-5. Bellinger connected for his 11th home run. On Friday night, the hard-throwing Hader gave up a three-run homer to Enrique

Hernandez in the eighth that led Los Angeles to a 5-3 win. In Arlington, Texas, Joey Gallo had the first sacrifice fly of his career in his 1,337th plate appearance and matched his best with five RBIs, helping

Shelby Miller get his first major league victory in two years as the Rangers held on to beat the Astros 11-10.

In Denver, Jon Gray pitched six scoreless innings, Tony Wolters had a two-run double and the Rockies beat the Phillies 4-1 for their sixth win in seven games. Bryce Harper drew a leadoff walk in the Philadelph­ia eighth and has reached base safely in all 21 games to start the season.
