For all those times when the Red Sox have lost to a bunch of no names who just came up from the minors, last night was their turn.

Pitching for the Red Sox was Rubby De La Rosa the 25-year-old who previously underwent Tommy John surgery and was part of the trade with the Dodgers. De La Rosa pitched seven strong innings, giving up four hits and zero runs. He had eight strikeouts, 10 ground outs and two fly outs over the course of throwing 105 pitches. Although he walked a lot of guys in the minors this season, he didn't have any trouble finding the strike zone last night.

Once De La Rosa exited to a standing ovation Alex Wilson came in to pitch the final two innings. The 27-year-old righty gave up three hits and one run over the course of his outing. The one run came via an inside the park homerun where Jackie Bradley Jr. tried to climb the wall to save him from giving up a hit. Unfortunately he did not make the play and ended up having the ball hit him in his face.  Watching the collision, I know I was relieved when it turned out it was just a ball to the face and not a dislocated shoulder.  
The top and bottom of the lineup is where all the offense occurred last night. The top three guys went a combined 5 for 12 with two walks, two runs and three RBI. The bottom half of the lineup went 6 for 12 with five runs and three RBIs.

Individual offenses standouts where Xander Bogaerts, Grady Sizemor and Jonathan Herrera. Bogaerts went one for three with two walks and scored one run. Sizemore went two for four scoring two runs and recording a stolen base. His final out of the evening could've easily been his third hit if not for some great defense by Tampa Bay. Herrera went three for four scoring three runs and collecting one RBI.

Brock Holt started off the scoring by hitting his first career home run in the third inning to make the score 2-0.
