ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Jarren Duran had a tiebreaking RBI single in the ninth and the COVID-19 impacted Boston Red Sox stopped the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays’ nine-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory. Boston infielder Yairo Muñoz became the latest Boston player to test positive for COVID-19. Eight Boston players and two coaches have either had a positive test or are considered close contacts since last Friday. Christian Vázquez homered and drove in two runs for Boston. Rays rookie Wander Franco homered off Chris Sale, extending his on-base streak to 32 games.
