BOSTON (AP) — The AL East champion Tampa Bay Rays saw their record-setting season come to a sudden end when they lost to the Boston Red Sox 6-5 in Game 4 of their Division Series and were eliminated in the best-of-five playoff. The Rays set a franchise best with 100 wins this season and shut out wild-card Boston at home in their postseason opener. Players sat comfortably in the dugout during the game, several of them munching on popcorn. But after a blowout loss in Game 2, they came to Fenway Park. And two days in Boston became their own personal horror movie, ending their bid to reach a second straight World Series.
