Red Sox 10, Rays 0: Bennett's One-Hitter Extends the Streak to 10

Sixty-five pitches and a first-place lineup looking lost

July 17, 2026 – Boston – Fenway opened the second half with a doubleheader makeup and a rookie lefty who refused to blink.

Jake Bennett threw six innings of one-hit ball on 65 pitches. Masataka Yoshida and Carlos Narváez went deep. The Boston Red Sox blanked the Tampa Bay Rays 10-0 in Game 1, stretching the win streak to 10, per the Associated Press.

Boston outhit the AL East leaders 15-3. Then they won the nightcap 5-3 for 11 straight and a climb back to .500. This recap is the afternoon demolition.

Yoshida around Pesky's Pole, then the sixth empties

Boston led 2-0 when Yoshida wrapped the first pitch of the fourth around Pesky's Pole. Quiet Fenway noise. Real damage.

The sixth was the stampede. Jarren Duran chased Griffin Jax (5-7) with a two-run single as part of a six-run frame. Jax's ERA jumped from 3.47 to 4.08. Narváez cleared the Monster in the seventh for his third homer. Three hits for Yoshida, Narváez, and Caleb Durbin. Three RBIs each for Narváez and Duran.

Bennett's no-drama masterpiece

Bennett (5-3) walked one in the first, then retired nine straight before Junior Caminero singled in the fourth. That was Tampa Bay's hit total against him. Three strikeouts. Fourth straight win in a start. Alec Gamboa finished the last three for his first save.

Against a Rays club that entered with the division lead, it looked like a mismatch someone forgot to schedule.

AthX Engine angle

Bennett's 23 pitching FP tied for second on the Friday pitching board. Yoshida (10) and Narváez (11) both cracked the hitting leaders. Boston's 33 team FP for the full day (both ends) sat second only to Washington's 45. One loud afternoon does not print a share price by itself; dynamic pricing still layers demand over AthX Engine production.

What comes next

The streak hit 11 after the nightcap, with Wilyer Abreu going deep twice in Game 2. For AthX boards, Friday in Boston was a double dip. For the Rays, it was a reminder that first place still has to pitch.
