The nine-game winning streak is over. I had a feeling the Red Sox weren't going to win by double-digits three straight games.
They ran into a buzzsaw in James Shields, who pitched a five-hit shutout. Adrian Gonzalez had three hits, and everyone else had two.
Carl Crawford returned to St. Pete to a mostly positive reaction. Some boos, but he was shut down for the night, going 0-for-3.
New York won, so the Red Sox lead is 1 1/2 games, and 3 1/2 over third place Tampa Bay.
