ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Kevin Kiermaier broke up a combined no-hit bid by the Boston Red Sox with a one-out double in the eighth inning and Manuel Margot scored on a wild pitch in the ninth to give the Tampa Bay Rays a 1-0 victory. Margot got Tampa Bay’s second hit, a two-out single in the ninth off Matt Barnes. He stole second and went to third on a throwing error by catcher Christian Vázquez. After Joey Wendle was intentionally walked and with Francisco Mejía batting, Margot dashed home on Barnes’ wild pitch. J.P. Feyereisen, the fifth Tampa Bay pitcher, worked the ninth inning of a four-hitter. Kiermaier also threw out a runner at the plate from center field in the seventh.
