Both teams had baserunners in the 8th and 9th, there was a challenge in the 9th, De Aza was ruled safe on a steal of second, overturned on the review, there was no more scoring, Red Sox take series 2-1.
Materson went 5 innings, giving up one run on five hits, struck out six and issued no walks, for the win.

Grady Sizemore inserted into the line up after being called up, had three hits including an RBI single in the 7th during an attempt at a comeback rally.
Deven Marrero made his Major League debut in the bottom of the second when he replaced the ejected Napoli in the order. Marrero was put at second with Brock Holt moving to Napoli's position at first base.
David Ortiz hit his 478th homer of his career, putting him in a tie with Chipper Jones for 25th on the all-time extra-base hit list with 1,055. His 78 career RBI at Tropicana Field are the most by a visiting player.

Re: 2015 Tampa Bay Rays season
With all the potential perfect games and no hitters, I missed some roster moves from Tuesday.

In the 4th, Urshela singled, Bourn singled, Wrshela went to third when Perez flied out. Kipnis hit into a fielder's choice, Urshela scored, 5-0.
Carrasco lost the perfect game when Butler walked in the 7th. The defensive play of the game dame when Longoria hit a sharp grounder that Santana dove for it, got up stepped on first and then threw to Aviles catching Butler in a rundown for the out to end the inning.
In the 8th, Riefenhauser now pitching for the Rays, Raburn pinch hitting for Murphy took a walk, Santana doubled, Moss homered , 8-0.
Bottom of the ninth, Carrasco still pitching for the Indians, he let up another walk to Cabrera, Guyer (ph for Krauss) was hit by a pitch , Sizemore (ph for Casali) gorunded into a fielder's choice, Guyer out at second, Cabrera to third. Kiermaier went down swinging, one strike away from a no-hitter, Butler knocks one in to right, no hit gone, Cabrera scored, shut out gone.
