Rays Beat Sox 2-1

Weird game. But a good pitcher's duel. A balk by Clay Buchholz & a botched fly ball by Cody Ross gave Tampa Bay the 2 runs they needed to beat the Sox. Hellickson stmied the Sox bats all night, giving up just one run. We need to get Ells & Crawford back so Ross doesn't play every day. He has provided some long ball offense at times, but he has looked bad on several balls in the outfield. Last night he misjudged a short fly to right, circling around the ball, then throwing home late to miss getting the Rays runner from 3rd. It seems like the Rays keep winning with smoke & mirrors, but they keep winning. Big start for Doubront tonight to see if they can split.
