Red Sox vs. Rays Game Highlights (9/21/25) | MLB Highlights
The Red Sox can’t sweep the Tampa Bay Rays at Steinbrenner field. They’ve already had some good news today. That man is back for the first time in over a month. William Breo is in the lineup. Connolly early has been fantastic through two. It’s the first time he hasn’t faced a team called the A’s. They’re going to ask for it again here tonight, right or wrong in a pressure packed spot from Conley early. Well taking the mound tonight for the Tampa Bay Rays is going to be right hander joe Boyle coming off of his best outing of the year. His last time against the Toronto Blue Jays and see if he can duplicate that here tonight. Two outs with 10 pitches in the walk in the base hit in the Red Sox with a man at every base here in the first inning Braman at third Yoshida at second Gonzalez at first. I say that with trepidation the way it’s gone lately for the Red Sox with the bases loaded, but they are overdue to make something big happen. A he struck him out on three pitches and he got him with the slider in the zone at the end and the Red Sox lead the bases loaded early in his first two. Red Sox starts has made Red Sox in baseball history since 1901. He’s the 20th pitcher with 18 or more strikeouts in the first two games, but he is in a huge bind here to begin the game, not the same Connolly early, at least through three batters tonight. Here in Tampa. Red Sox had an opportunity with the bases loaded in their half of the inning. They failed to score trying to shut them down but a long way to go. One with the bases loaded up steps, Christopher Mll and the first pitch to him is a bullet fair ball down the left field line and here they come, Simpson scores here comes Yandy com to third. He will be held as Morell cruises to second with a two run double in the race. Jump on top two, nothing in the first, but you can’t walk two in the first and normally get away with it. They have 2nd and 3rd, only one out, two runs in and one of the hotter hitters lately for the races. Fortes swing grounded to third. Bregman has it. He’ll come home a low throw juggled and blocked by won and Croes home plate. He scores to third Morell and the Rays lead three nothing. It’s really not a good throw by Bregman at all. He had a lot of time and the Red Sox make a huge mistake in its 30. Tampa Joe Boyle ST to a 30 lead as we move to the second one and two. The count leading off the second inning got it by him at 99 was just off the outside and rafael strikeout already for Joe Boyle. Nobody on three nothing raises here is will year. Abreu just off of the injured list. Throws check swing. They appeal strike 33 consecutive strikeouts for Boyle and it’s two down for a coming off the injured list. And that’s the sort of stuff you got to see. Good luck swing in the mid to the high fastball and Boyle bounces back by striking out the side with the lead at first and one away. The only RBS for the Rays came off the bat of this man, Christopher Morel with bases loaded double to left a chopper to short. That’s going to be a double play his second for one relay to first two Morell moving well down the line but Roy turned it beautifully. The walk and Nathaniel Lowe is at the plate slash to third and a base hit going to the left field corner Morell playing it off the side wall. The third is Gonzalez. He’s going to be waived. Carson Williams with a strong relay and he is out at the plate by a country mile 762. It goes, it’s a double the other way from Nathaniel Lowe but that tremendous throw by Williams after the quick feed for Morell is the first out here in the fourth. So man, it’s second and one out here’s Rafael who fanned in a nine pitch battle his first time. That’s a fair ball. Here comes long and send him throwing to second. Here’s the tag and he is going to be safe to get in there and a run scores and make it 3 to 1. Sean literally put it right on the line and the Sox are within two sox have an active bullpen greg Weissert. Now loosening up 66 pitches here for Belich who settled down nicely since that first, he gets a 123. Kevin Cash has already pointed to Cole Sol to come in. Boyle goes four and a third, maybe not quite as down as he was against Toronto, but just the one run. So now a single away the Red Sox tying this thing up at third. Yoshida at second and Gonzalez at first and Solcer trying to get one more out. Lowe had this exact same situation in the first inning bases loaded two down. He struck out at the hand of Joe Boyle Sol to the high set and pitches swing and a miss, he struck him out with a changeup down and the side is retired. And for the second time tonight , Lowe fans with the bases loaded. Clevenger on the mound now with a strike count on and he’s got it just it for more. Stayed with that one tracking it all the way a charge put into it by Rafaelle but Christopher Mll tracks it down at the very end of just getting the beat, the beat and Then a little leap and puts it away before crashing into the wall. So Brendan Laue 195 against left handed pitching this year, 281 against righty. So you like this match up if you can execute some pitches, go in the air number 30 for Brandon Lau. He sent it out of here to straight away. Right? And the Rays take a 4 to 1 lead. Brandon Laue for the second time in his career has got to 30 homers a no Doubter to right and with the fireworks going off and left, the Rays lead 4 to 1 and he joins Evan Longoria and carlos Pena is the only other rays to have multiple 30 home run seasons mounting in the seventh inning in front of Bregman and the Red Sox have them at 1st and 3rd with nobody out. All right. Got to cash in bases loaded twice. Nothing to show for it 1st and 3rd. No outs. Now need to the lineup up. Got to make it happen and into right field. Durant will score Trevor to second and pull up there and they will make it 423 consecutive hits to begin. The now one down here’s Roy to run game 4 to 2 raises. Story at second Bregman at first base hit field. He’s going to be set. Here’s the and he gets in there at home plate. Red Sox score again, base hit by Rome Gonzalez. Red Sox within one. This is just about moving the line and not trying to do too much at the corners for Nathaniel Lowe who has had a tough night, a aa run scored but two big strikeouts swing and a miss this time, he got him with a change and for the third time with runners on base, Nathaniel Lowe has struck out tonight but still one more big out to get in the seventh and it’s a ray killer and say on Rafaella who comes up and he’s got a chance to deliver another, an RBI double in three turns tonight. Popped him up in the inning. Who’s got it first base side? It’s Tristan Gray dancing with it under. It makes the catch on the grass and Brian baker gives up two but he maintains the lead to inheriting runners at 1st and 2nd and the Red Sox need his big fastball. He takes upon belted a long home run in the sixth inning and badly there and he puts him on the bases are loaded with nobody out on ball four. And Christopher Morell who had a two run double for the race. First two runs today has a chance to break this game wide open a line drive, hit a base hit. Scores. Here comes Rafael throw home is not in fouls. He’s driven in four and the Rays extend 6 to 3 now in the eighth inning and there’s still nobody out to had not shown the cutter. He had not shown the change up, but you just have to have more than one pitch even out of the bullpen or will hold with a single and everyone moves up 90 ft on a blistering line drive through the middle and he is now phase three and allowed all three to reach the first five have gotten on base in this inning. Bases still loaded. 63 races. Jake man stepping up to the plate, he pinch hit and struck out his last time up in the air to center. Rafael lines it up. He makes the catch LA tags. He’s coming home throws going to third if high backed up by to is hit the side. It will be a fly from an, a run scores and the Rays have a slam lead at seven three. The Rays wrapping up their home schedule looking to go 41 and 40 at home this year and they bring on Pete Fairbanks right there. Chris Gray Steps on the bat and the Rays close out the whole portion of their schedule with a 7 to 3 victory over the Boston Red Sox, Red Sox win the series. This was a game of missed opportunities. They had a lot of chances to pile up a lot more runs.

Gooo
Easy
Is there still no set return date for Tampa Bay Rays' Manuel Rodriguez? He's scheduled to compete in the WBC, but will he be ready in time?
Will Brennan Bernardino be back in late September?
Jonathan Aranda was said to be returning to the major leagues in mid to late September, but what does that look like at this point?
Well. The Steinbrenner Field arc has finished with this being our last home game. We start it off with a win and end with a win. I’m going to be happy to head back to Tropicana field next season. Gg Red Sox. Next for the Rays are the last 3 away games. First one against the Baltimore Orioles. Good Luck Orioles
Rays take game 3 and avoid sweep. Red Sox will travel to Toronto to face the Blue Jays in last away series
The thumbnail kinds goes hard 😮💨
No sweeping, not today. Let's go Rays!
Red Sox just can't get any consistency in any phase of the game. Sending Gonzalez home (wth was the 3rd base coach thinking?) on that hit basically killed what would have been a big inning since he would have scored on the next hit. The bounce throw home allowing a run. Poor pitching, fielding and base running basically took them out of this game.
Another loss to a sub .500 team and some tough teams coming to end the season. It might need some help for the sox to make the playoffs.
2 veces bases llenas y 2 hombre en base y se poncha y con picheo malos..tiro a 3b q estaba esperado y el 3b un hombre out en home y la entierra..y esos relevo qno fallan el bate ..así no se puede ganar
la mardiciom de.los bambinos ese equipo no silver .despues que traicciono.a los domi😅😅
They hate sweeping series 🙄. Now the last six games are hard.
Lowe is absolutely horrible with RISP. ALL HE DOES IS STRIKEOUT.
Red Sox – Bases loaded twice – 0 runs, Rays – bases loaded – same inning- 3 runs. Pathetic GROAC – get rid of Alex Cora! Greedy Bregman – 40 million not enough despite 2 months slump! Just like swayman! And we traded Devers for this clown and got nothing in return!
Story deserves an award, whole team with Cora only Razzies!
The little league red sox want to go on vacation instead of playing October baseball.
The Red Sox have been out of brooms for months-lol They need to lock Cora up in the freakin closet-lol
