Webb weaves win
Mason 0-2 with Boston
Saturday, August 6, 2011

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA - Brandon Webb struggled but the Rays managed to come out on top today at Tropicana Field with a 5-4 victory over the first place Boston Red Sox.
Webb gave up four runs on nine hits and three walks in just 4 2/3 innings but was saved by fine relief pitching from Jose Capellan, who threw three shutout innings in which he gave up two hits and walked nobody.
For Boston, Dave Mason also took some lumps to fall to 4-5 on the year, 0-2 with the Red Sox. He went seven innings, giving up five runs on seven hits and five walks.
Mason was staked to a quick 2-0 lead after the first inning and watched as a bases loaded opportunity in the second inning failed to result in any extra support. Miguel Cabrera started the scoring with a triple that knocked in Ichiro Suzuki. Cabrera then scored on a Grady Sizmore double in the top of the first inning.
The Rays responded in the third inning with four runs, two of which came off a Bobby Kielty double. Jeff Davanon also doubled in a run while a Ben Broussard sacrifice fly also led to a run.
The Red Sox countered in the their next at bat with another run, this one coming courtesy of a Cabrera double, making it 4-3 Tampa Bay.
The Rays would another run in the fourth on a sacrific fly while a Howie Kendrick single would push across a run for the Red Sox in the fifth inning.
The two teams will square off in the series finale tomorrow at 1:15 p.m. Johan Santana, 11-7 with a 2.88 ERA, will take the mound for the Red Sox while Tampa Bay sends Sean Marshall, 5-5 with a 3.78 ERA, to the bump.
