Defensive replacement Sam Fuld misplayed Ryan Lavarnway's eighth-inning line drive into a double. Two batters later, the Rays left fielder had a chance to make up for it. Fuld called off the center fielder on what would have been a game-tying sacrifice fly and threw out pinch runner Daniel Nava for an inning-ending double play that helped the Rays beat Boston 2-1 on Monday night and retake first place in the AL East. "Off the bat, I knew I wanted that throw, and I knew it was going to be pretty close," said Fuld, who got so much into the throw that he tumbled over after releasing the ball, a move he called the "Fuld Flop." "I went from feeling really crummy to really, really good in about five minutes." David Price allowed just two hits over 7 1/3 innings to beat Boston for the second time in six days and give the Rays their 22nd victory in their past 26 games. Tampa Bay went 8-2 on their road trip to Toronto, Boston, New York and back to Boston on Monday night to make up a game that was rained out on Thursday. Price (6-5) was dominating before the makeup game was delayed for 39 minutes because of a brief downpour that arrived as fans were singing "Sweet Caroline" and he was warming up for the bottom of the eighth. The Rays left-hander stayed in the game, but retired just one batter -- after starting him out with three straight balls -- before manager Joe Maddon pulled him from the game. Source: ESPN
