Rays beat Red Sox 10-8 in 11 innings, spoil top prospect Roman Anthony's MLB debut
BOSTON (AP) — Jake Mangum had four hits, and Junior Caminero drew a bases-loaded walk in the 11th inning on Monday night as the Tampa Bay Rays took advantage of Boston mistakes to win 10-8 and spoil the debut of top Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony.
Tampa loaded the bases off Zack Kelly in the 11th and Caminero took a 3-2 pitch for a walk. Mangum followed with a chopper to the right side that was fielded by first baseman Romy Gonzalez, but his throw to Kelly (1-3) was awkward and late.
Ian Seymour pitched two innings in his major league debut for the victory as Tampa won for the sixth time in seven games.
Anthony was hitless in four at-bats, with one walk and an RBI groundout in the ninth that cut the deficit to 7-6. Kristian Campbell followed by hitting a high chopper over the mound and beating the throw to first for a game-tying single.
Anthony also let a single roll under his glove in right field for an error that led to an unearned run in the fifth — one of two official errors to go with a run-scoring wild pitch, a hit batsman and a botched infield fly.
Anthony was due to lead off the bottom half of the 11th, but Rob Refsnyder pinch hit for him and walked. With two on and two out, Gonzalez took a 3-2 pitch for a third strike and was ejected for arguing the call; the Red Sox had no other batters to replace him.
No matter, Ceddanne Rafaela lined the next pitch to short for the third out.
Key moment
Taylor Walls hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to give Tampa an 8-7 lead. Boston tied it in the bottom half when first baseman Jonathan Aranda dropper a grounder that would have been the final out, then threw wide of Seymour for a second error, this one allowing the tying run to score.
Key stat
Anthony's line was 0 for 4 with one RBI, one walk, one strikeout and one fielding error.
Up next
Tampa RHP Ryan Pepiot (3-5) faces Boston RHP Lucas Giolito on Tuesday in the second of three games in the series.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel delivers brutally honest take on star cornerback Jalen Ramsey's trade situation
The Miami Dolphins and Jalen Ramsey mutually agreed to explore trade options heading into the 2025 season, but that was almost two months ago. While no deal has been made, head coach Mike McDaniel doesn't seem worried, concerned or any other adjective about Ramsey's situation. "I don't give a s--- about what I feel," he said when asked his thoughts on the trade dilemma. "I don't even really go down that road of, 'How do I feel about it?' My job is to react and control my controllables and make sure that people are moving in one direction appropriately." McDaniel spoke during his team's opening day of mandatory minicamp, where Ramsey wasn't present, as expected. He has elected to remain away from the Dolphins until his situation is resolved. It's a bit surprising to see the 30-year-old not be dealt over the past two months given he's on the market. Ramsey is a seven-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro who continues to play at a high level at the cornerback position. But when you look at the financials, perhaps it makes sense why the Dolphins remain the team employing Ramsey. He signed a three-year, $72.3 million extension just one season ago, meaning teams would have to carry a heavy cap hit to trade for Ramsey, unless some sort of financial package can be reached in the process with Miami. As a result, McDaniel is simply focused on the roster he has present at his minicamp. He enters his fourth year on the job, and he could be on the hot seat if Miami doesn't turn things around after an 8-9 season. Of course, quarterback play is a large factor in teams winning and losing, and it didn't help that Tua Tagovailoa suffered yet another concussion that had him out early in the season. McDaniel's offense requires precise timing and accuracy, and Tagovailoa has thrived in that atmosphere when healthy. But the Dolphins couldn't keep things afloat with him out, and when Tagovailoa returned, they weren't able to make a run into the playoffs. McDaniel will hope the 2025 campaign is more like 2023, when the Dolphins went 11-6 to reach the playoffs. They play in a tough AFC East division, where the New England Patriots got better in all facets and the New York Jets have a dual-threat quarterback leading the way in Justin Fields. And, of course, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are still the team to beat. So, McDaniel has a lot to worry about in terms of getting his team prepared for a hopeful playoff run, and he's clearly letting it be known he doesn't have time for players who wanted to be traded. "The business is business – the opportunity that business does provide in the offseason is a rep to the team about handling noise," McDaniel added. "Noise is [something] that don't have to do with what actually you're there to do… Business and offseasons allow you to speak to your team about how the focus of noise is a constant battle that, [to be] successful, you have to win." The Dolphins open their season on the road against the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. ET.

New Bruins coach Marco Sturm has seen the passion of Boston fans — from both sides
Associated Press BOSTON (AP) — Marco Sturm got his first taste of the passionate Bruins fans when he was traded to Boston for No. 1 overall draft pick — and soon-to-be NHL MVP — Joe Thornton. 'I mean, it wasn't my fault, right?' the former Bruins forward told chuckling reporters on Tuesday at a news conference to introduce him as the team's coach. 'I got here, and it was difficult. I'm not going to lie. You read the paper or social media or even you go on the street, people will let you know, right? "But also it pushes you. And I saw it in the positive way," Sturm said. 'I've got such good memories here. And I know the fans, as soon as they feel that there's something good happening here, they will support you. I know that. It kind of goes the other way, too. But I don't want to talk about that. I want to look forward.' A three-time Olympian and first-round draft pick who played five of his 14 NHL seasons for the Bruins, Sturm led Germany to a silver medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics and spent the next six years in the Los Angeles Kings organization, the last three as head coach of its AHL affiliate. The 46-year-old former left wing replaces Joe Sacco, who finished the season as the interim coach after Jim Montgomery was fired in November. Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said that as the team tries to rebuild after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2016 it was important to have a coach 'who understands our fan base and values the same things — of being incredibly hard out each and every night.' The Bruins marked the occasion with a news conference in their offices overlooking Causeway Street and the TD Garden. Former captain Patrice Bergeron, who assisted on Sturm's overtime game-winner in the 2010 Winter Classic at Fenway Park, was in the front row as a show of support. German chocolate cupcakes — a nod to the new coach's heritage — were served. Sturm said he never considered coaching while he played, but he started working with his own kids before getting the job as head coach and general manager of the German national team in 2015. 'And that's where I really realized, 'This is actually me,'' he said. 'And that's where I have passion. That's where I'm good at. And then to go after that.' He put his plans for family time on hold and spent six years living in Los Angeles, away from his wife and children. 'I was chasing my dream,' Sturm said, adding that the children, who are now 19 and 21, missed Boston since moving away. 'My kids grew up there. They always wanted to come back. And here I am. Now they get their wish.' Sturm said he wouldn't have taken just any opening, but the Bruins presented a team that has strong goaltending in Jeremy Swayman and a solid core led by defenseman Charlie McAvoy and forward David Pastrnak that could push for the playoffs if it stays healthy. Boston also stockpiled draft picks and young talent from the midseason trade deadline purge that shipped off several veterans — including Brad Marchand, the only remaining member of their 2011 Stanley Cup championship roster. After posting 100-plus points in six straight non-pandemic-shortened seasons — including a Presidents' Trophy in 2023, when they set NHL records of 65 wins and 135 points — the Bruins finished with 76 points this season; only three teams were worse. 'Every job — it doesn't matter if you're in Boston or not — will be a challenge. But it's a good challenge. I love challenges," Sturm said. 'I know the expectations here. I know how it is. But as long as I'm putting my work and preparation in, I know I will be in good shape.' ___ AP NHL: recommended

2025 U.S. Open pool picks: Scottie Scheffler, Ben Griffin, Sam Burns among picks at Oakmont Country Club
Last week, reigning U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau posted a video of his recent round at Oakmont Country Club, the host of this year's tournament, to his YouTube Channel. The videos showcased the many challenges — including fast greens, thick rough and a nearly 300-yard par-3 hole on the front nine — that this course will present its competitors this weekend. Advertisement DeChambeau, who hasn't finished worse than fifth in any tournament since March, including the Masters and PGA Championship, finished the round at even par. If this weekend's major championship plays anything like it did in 2016, an even round would be enough to contend for the win. The last time the U.S. Open was held at Oakmont Country Club, only four players finished under par. The sport's stars will face a tough test this weekend, but there are several value picks for your U.S. Open Championship pool. Here's how it works: One player is selected from each tier of 10 inside the Official World Golf Ranking's Top 50. Let's get to the picks! Odds from BetMGM. Odds: +275 The world's top-ranked golfer isn't providing much value with those odds, but it's hard to go against a hot hand, and Scheffler's hand is sizzling. He's won three of his past four tournaments, including the PGA Championship, and has finished outside of the top five only once in his last seven starts — a T8 at the RBC Heritage. During that stretch, he's gained the most total true strokes of any golfer in the field (3.75), according to That total is boosted by his 1.73 true strokes gained on approach. Avoiding mistakes will be key this week, and Scheffler has largely done that while keeping a tight grip on the No. 1 spot in the rankings. Scottie Scheffler from DEEP ‼️ Scheffler has two birdies through four holes. — ESPN (@espn) April 10, 2025 Odds: +6600 Ben Griffin, No. 15 in the Official World Golf Ranking (WGR), is on quite the run over the last month. Here are his last three finishes: His 3.30 total true strokes gained are second only to Scheffler's 3.88 over that span among the field, according to Griffin's putting accounts for a significant portion of that total, as he has picked up 1.25 strokes on the green in his last three tournaments. Among this week's field, only Sam Burns, who appears next in these picks, and Sepp Straka have gained more strokes putting. WHAT A PUTT 💥‼️ Ben Griffin goes eagle-birdie to reach 8 under par @MemorialGolf — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) June 1, 2025 Odds: +6600 Burns' putter has been working all year. Even during a stretch from late March through early April when he missed three straight cuts, Burns was still picking up strokes with the flat stick. In fact, he's only lost strokes with his putter in one tournament this year, the WM Phoenix Open. It looks like the rest of his game is starting to match his putting form over the last month. He lost a playoff to Ryan Fox to finish second at the RBC Canadian Open, but played great throughout the course. Sam Burns birdies the 18th for an exceptional final-round 62 and the clubhouse lead. 💪 📺 CBS — Golf Channel (@GolfChannel) June 8, 2025 That came on the heels of two top-20 finishes in the Memorial Tournament and the PGA Championship. Odds: +8000 Keeping with the theme of going with the hot hand, Fox is coming from a playoff win at the RBC Canadian Open. 'That shot I hit on 18 … probably the best shot I've ever hit."@RyanFoxGolfer sealed the deal with this shot on the fourth playoff hole @RBCCanadianOpen. — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) June 8, 2025 He also snagged another win at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic in May. Fox's 2.22 total true strokes gained since the South Carolina event ranks seventh among the field at the U.S Open. Odds: +5500 Oddsmakers don't seem to think Spieth is the 47th-best golfer in the world, which is a great endorsement for the 31-year-old to be the selection at this tier. Spieth has some great golf this year as well as not-so-great, sometimes on a single hole. The most normal @JordanSpieth par 😅 (presented by @CDWCorp) — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 30, 2025 He's coming off a T7 finish at the Memorial and could hit one of the best shots you've ever seen at any given moment. Odds: +10000 Young is currently No. 56 in the WGR, but if he keeps playing the way he has been since the start of May, he'll be in the top 50 next week. He's T4, T25, T47 and T7 in his last four starts, respectively. Prior to that stretch, he'd missed the cut in six of 12 events. It seems Young has picked his game up recently and should be confident heading into the U.S. Open. Cameron Young. How? ⚠️ How to make a really tough shot look so easy 😅 — Golf on CBS ⛳ (@GolfonCBS) June 8, 2025 (Photo of Scottie Scheffler: Andy Lyons / Getty Images)
