Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there! The Tampa Bay Rays brought their A-game to Fenway Park on Sunday, wrapping up a weekend series with a 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. With both teams sporting pink accents in honor of the holiday, the Rays were looking to claim sole possession of first place in the AL East, entering the day with a razor-thin percentage point lead.

Nick Martinez took the mound for Tampa Bay, while Boston countered with Payton Tolle. The Rays wasted no time making a statement, as Junior Caminero launched a one-out solo home run in the top of the first inning to give the visitors an early 1-0 lead. The Red Sox threatened in the bottom half when Willson Contreras was hit by a pitch, but they couldn't capitalize, leaving him stranded. Contreras exited the game between innings, replaced by Andruw Monasterio.

In the second, Ryan Vilade led off with a single but was caught trying to stretch it into a double. Boston's Mickey Gaspar hit a one-out double in the bottom half, but the Red Sox again failed to bring him home. The Rays broke the game open in the third inning. Nick Fortes led off with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Taylor Walls. Chandler Simpson then singled to score Fortes, thanks to a costly error from Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story, whose deflection sent the ball into left field. An odd throw from Jarren Duran allowed Simpson to take second. With two outs, Ben Williamson singled to bring Simpson home, and Yandy Diaz followed with another single to put runners at the corners. The Rays settled for a 3-0 lead.

Boston's Caleb Durbin started the bottom of the third by getting hit by a pitch—the second HBP of the game for Martinez. Durbin attempted to steal second but was caught, and the Red Sox remained scoreless. The Rays added an insurance run in the late innings to secure the 4-1 victory, winning the series and claiming their spot atop the division. It was a perfect way to honor all the moms in the stands and at home.
