In a loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, Boston's 1-2-3 hitters went 0-for-9 with nine strikeouts, the first time the franchise's top three batters combined for nine strikeouts and no hits since 1901. Rays starter Drew Rasmussen struck out a career-high 13 over seven dominant innings as Tampa Bay completed the sweep and pushed Boston 12 games below .500. The result highlighted how an anemic Red Sox offense and lingering injuries have turned an already poor start into a historically bleak stretch, making a midseason turnaround increasingly unlikely.
