Tampa Bay cruise to third straight win

Drew Smyly and the Rays bullpen held the Red Sox to one hit and Kevin Kiermaier hit a solo home run in the 10th as Tampa Bay beat Boston 3-0 on Tuesday night for its third straight win.

Smyly allowed one hit over eight innings and struck out 11 for the second straight start.

Smyly was in a pitching duel with Boston’s bullpen after starter Joe Kelly left in the first inning with stiffness in his right shoulder. The Red Sox used six relievers. In Cincinnati, Jay Bruce had two of the Reds’ five steals in the second inning off Jorge De La Rosa — their biggest inning on the bases in roughly a century — as Cincinnati held on to beat Colorado 4-3.
