The Boston Red Sox are seeing their wild card lead shrink as the injuries mount.
Wade Davis threw a six-hitter, John Jaso hit a three-run homer and the Tampa Bay Rays moved within 5 1/2 games of AL wild-card leading Boston with a 7-2 victory over the Red Sox on Friday night.
Boston has lost five of six. After two more games in Florida this weekend, the Red Sox will host Tampa Bay in a four-games series that starts Thursday at Fenway Park.
"We're inconsistent right now," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "All teams go through that, so you've got to fight through it. We've got to find ways to win. Sometimes it's harder to win than others, but it doesn't mean you can't do it."
