Rays beat Red Sox 10-8 in 11 innings, spoil top prospect Roman Anthony's MLB debut
BOSTON — 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 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.
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.
Anthony's line was 0 for 4 with one RBI, one walk, one strikeout and one fielding error.
Tampa RHP Ryan Pepiot faces Boston RHP Lucas Giolito on Tuesday in the second of three games in the series.

How Otto Kemp went from undrafted to Philadelphia Phillies game-winner in 11th inning
How Otto Kemp went from undrafted to Philadelphia Phillies game-winner in 11th inning (Image Source: Getty Images) Otto Kemp's impressive major league debut highlights that undrafted players can make a difference when needed, since the 25-year-old rookie's three-hit contest helped the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in extra time at Citizens Bank Park. A Point Loma Nazarene University graduate who had not been drafted and became a free agent last year played very well in his home debut, collecting three hits and making a key bunt single that helped Brandon Marsh win the game with his walk-off. The win ended a five-game losing streak and demonstrated how well the team's farm system is working. Otto Kemp's clutch performance validates the Philadelphia Phillies' player development system Otto Kemp's first game with the Philadelphia Phillies showed that the team was ready to give a chance to less-noticed players. Rob Thomson, the manager, had already noticed Kemp's good batting average and strong approach to the game when he was playing for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Jacob Smith's first major league hit came off Cubs starter Matthew Boyd in the fifth inning, and he aims to remember the moment by framing the ball. Otto Kemp made his way to third base on Boyd's missing throw, and then scored after Weston Wilson got an RBI single, making it 2-1 for the Philadelphia team. Otto Kemp stood out mainly because he could perform effectively in stressful situations. In the 2021 St. Cloud Rox summer baseball game, Kemp made his last attempt at a bunt, and now, in the 11th inning, he used a bunt to set up the rally that won the game. How Otto Kemp's versatility strengthens Philadelphia Phillies' roster depth Otto Kemp's ability to play in multiple spots will greatly benefit the Philadelphia Phillies in the future. While playing in Triple-A, he was the starting third baseman in 33 games, appeared in 17 games at both first and second base, and in seven games in the outfield. Rob Thomson said Otto Kemp might play both first base and the outfield as he begins his major league career. Now that Bryce Harper is out with wrist problems, Kemp gets a chance to help the team right away. The Phillies believe Otto Kemp can handle various playing roles and still continue his offensive success. His 14 home runs and 55 RBI in 58 games in Triple-A showed that he can handle both power plays and key hitting situations. The significant emotions of Otto Kemp's arrival were clear as everyone in the family went the extra mile to witness it. His wife brought their dog and drove up from North Carolina, while his parents took a red-eye flight from California also to attend their son's first game at Citizens Bank Park. NBC Sports Philadelphia and will be showing the games, so fans can watch Otto Kemp as he follows up on his great debut. Also Read: Why MLB dropped ESPN and what it means for baseball fans in 2025 The Philadelphia Phillies' victory over the Chicago Cubs demonstrated that sometimes the most impactful stories come from unexpected sources. Otto Kemp's journey from undrafted prospect to game-changing rookie exemplifies the determination and skill development that separates major league players from the rest, while his immediate impact suggests the Philadelphia Phillies have found another valuable piece for their championship puzzle.

Kirk and Clase lead Blue Jays past Cardinals 5-4 in 10 innings
ST. LOUIS — Alejandro Kirk homered and had four hits, including a go-ahead double in the 10th inning as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied last in a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Kirk opened the 10th with a double off Phil Maton to score automatic runner Addison Barger from second base. Jeff Hoffman then pitched a 1-2-3 inning for his 16th save in 19 opportunities, helping the Blue Jays win for the 10th time in 12 games. After blowing a three-run lead in the eighth, Toronto tied it at 4 in the ninth when No. 9 batter Jonatan Clase hit his first home run this year and the second of his career — a one-out shot off Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley. Kirk launched his fourth home run, a solo shot, on a full-count pitch from reliever Riley O'Brien for a 3-0 lead in the eighth. But in the bottom half, Willson Contreras doubled home the first St. Louis run and Iván Herrera hit a three-run homer off Yariel Rodríguez to give the Cardinals a 4-3 lead. Rodríguez, who entered with two on and two outs in a 3-0 game, had allowed just one of 13 inherited runners to score this season. Blue Jays starter José Berríos allowed two hits in 6 2/3 shutout innings. Toronto used George Springer's run-scoring double in the first and Bo Bichette's RBI single in the second to grab a 2-0 lead against starter Andres Pallente, who permitted seven hits in six innings. Berríos' exit in the seventh energized the Cardinals before Clase and Kirk came through late for the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays lead the all-time series 15-14. They won all three games against the Cardinals last season in Toronto. Toronto RHP Chris Bassitt starts Tuesday against Cardinals RHP Miles Mikolas .
