ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Carlos Pena, Carl Crawford and Pat Burrell homered in support of rookie left-hander David Price, and the Rays beat the Red Sox 6-4 last night to finish a two-game series sweep.

Since posting season highs Sunday with 18 runs and 23 hits to complete a weekend sweep at Baltimore, the Red Sox have fizzled offensively.

And the offense suffered another setback when All-Star left fielder Jason Bay left last night’s game after Bay re-injuring his right hamstring. He expects to miss at least the first two games of the series against the Yankees.
