ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The latest memorable night for David Ortiz ended badly for the Boston Red Sox.Ortiz became the oldest player ever to hit 30 homers in a season, but the Tampa Bay Rays came back from a three-run deficit to beat Boston 4-3 in 11 innings on Wednesday night and prevent the Red Sox from taking sole possession of first place in the American League East.Its hard to lose a game like that at this time, Ortiz said. You expect to win that kind of game, especially the stage that we are in now. Luke Maile doubled with two out in the 11th and scored from second base after Red Sox pitcher Heath Hembree (4-1) dropped a throw to first on Kevin Kiermaiers grounder. Hembrees throw to the plate beat Maile, but catcher Sandy Leon dropped the ball as Maile slid across with the winning run.Thats kind of a routine 3-to-1 play, Boston manager John Farrell said. Unfortunately, it comes at a time where youve got two outs and the guy is on the move, and it ends up being the difference in this one.Brad Boxberger (2-0) got the win after one inning of relief.Its fun anytime you can walk off in front of your fans and have a celebration out there on the field. We dont get to do that very much, Kiermaier said. Its a win. Well take it.Boston has won 10 of its past 13 games and remains tied in first with Toronto after the?Blue Jays lost 8-2 to the Los Angeles Angels.Bidding to become the majors first 18-game winner, Bostons?Rick Porcello allowed Evan Longorias tying homer in the eighth before leaving with 7? innings pitched. It was Longorias 30th homer.Red Sox rookie Andrew Benintendi left the game in the seventh with a left knee sprain after being tagged out by shortstop Matt Duffy on a double play.Its stiff. I can put a little bit of weight [on it], not trying to push it or overdo it, Benintendi said. Come back tomorrow and see how it feels. It was bad baserunning. It shouldnt happen.The 40-year-old Ortiz hit the first pitch he saw from starter Matt Andriese in the first inning for a two-run homer. Ortiz is the only player with 30 homers and 100 RBIs in each of the past four seasons, and he is the first Red Sox player to drive in 100 runs 10 times.We need that, we need offense, Ortiz said. Weve had a good offense this year, and thats whats keeping us alive, so hopefully it continues.Ortiz has 533 home runs, one shy of Jimmie Foxx for 18th on the career list. Ortiz plans to retire at the end of the season.Porcello pitched seven or more innings for a career-high sixth straight start. His 123 pitches were a career high. The right-hander gave up three runs and nine hits while striking out eight, failing to win for only the second time in 11 starts since June 23.Mookie Betts drove in Bostons third run with a third-inning single, one of two hits in his 54th multihit game of the season.RED SOXS ROTATING ROTATIONFarrell said knuckleballer Steven Wright (strained right shoulder) will be reinstated from the 15-day disabled list to start on Friday night against Kansas City. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (left hamstring) will have a bullpen session on Thursday, which will help determine where he will be inserted into the rotation. Also to be determined is the role of RHP Clay Buchholz, who was moved out of the bullpen on Aug. 13 and made three solid starts. Once we get through [Thursday], well have more clarity, Farrell said.SIX-MAN ROTATION LIKELY FOR RAYSWith Alex Cobb and/or Chase Whitley coming back from injuries and rookie Blake Snell facing limits on his innings, the Rays are considering a six-man rotation down the stretch, and even that would mean removing a current starter from the mix.I think thats probably a good option, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Were not going to draw straws and say one guys out of the rotation, but were going to have to find a way to get everybody their innings.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: 3B Pablo Sandoval, expected to be ready for spring training next year after having left shoulder surgery in May, has resumed working out at third base. ... RHP Carson Smith (Tommy John surgery) will start throwing in 3? weeks.Rays: RHP Cobb (Tommy John surgery) will make his final rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A Durham and hopes to have his first major league appearance in almost two years during a Sept. 2-4 series against Toronto.UP NEXTLHP Drew Pomeranz will make his eighth start for the Red Sox on Thursday against Rays RHP Jake Odorizzi, who is 5-0 with a 1.64 ERA in six starts since the All-Star break.USA Soccer Store .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit.

During Thursdays media session at Hockenheim, the drivers appeared to be divided on the issue, with Romain Grosjean saying he would vote against it if given the chance.However, Vettel appeared frustrated to hear fellow drivers speaking against the Halo, saying they recently voted overwhelmingly in support of the structure.I am a bit surprised because it sounded as if we were clear about what we want in the future, Vettel said in Thursdays FIA press conference. We had a vote amongst the drivers and I think 90, 95 percent voted for it so I dont know why all of a sudden it comes up the way it does. I think it is the wrong impression as the majority have said.We dont like the looks of it but I dont think there is anythingg that justifies death.dddddddddddd. Weve always learnt from what happened, incidents on track, and tried to improve. That will be the first time in human history that we have learned the lesson but we dont change. I think it is up to us that it does happen otherwise I think we would be quite stupid.In Budapest the FIA showed drivers a presentation which highlighted the fact they would be 17 percent more likely to have survived in previous incidents, which was enough to sway Lewis Hamiltons previous opposition. Though the teams have been given the initiative to vote on the issue, Vettel thinks the FIA should force it through regardless of the outcome.?Asked if he was frustrated the teams, and not the drivers, had the vote, he said: Well, I think ultimately the FIA can do what they want -- on safety grounds they can do what they want. I think the message is clear, the feedback from the drivers, except from the odd one or two here or there, has been fairly clear. ' ' '
