Porcello & Betts Deliver Win

Stand & deliver!  That's exactly what Rick Porcello did for 7 shutout inning & that's exactly what Mookie Betts did when he blasted 2 home runs.  Sox win - finally - 2 to 0 over the Rays in a tight one.  Things have not been bouncing the Red Sox way lately, so it was a nice pitching effort by Porcello, his 2nd in a row, to stop the slide & stop the overuse of the Red Sox bullpen.  This was a big win for several reason, one for showing that the Sox can win without LF Hanley Ramirez.  Ramirez is day-to-day & he is tentatively scheduled to play again this weekend in Toronto.  It may also be a big win if Porcello's performance gets the rest of the Sox rotation moving in the right direction after a horrible series of starts lasting less than 5 innings in length.  Better starting pitching = more wins.
