Tampa Bay Rays beat the Red Sox 5-4

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - James Shields scattered five hits over 6 1-3 innings and B.J. Upton and Gabe Gross homered Monday night, helping the Tampa Bay Rays in baseball beat the Boston Red Sox 5-4 to open a 1½-game lead in the division.

The Rays (50-32), surprising owners of the best record in baseball, have won six of seven and shrugged off a six-game losing streak to the Red Sox. It was the first meeting between the teams since their June 5 benches-clearing brawl at Fenway Park that led to the suspensions of eight players, including Shields (6-5).
