BOSTON -- One ball fell between two outfielders. Star Lotulelei Jersey . Another took a bad hop off the Green Monster standings. One batter reached safely on a dropped third strike and another when the pitcher was slow to cover first. By the time it was over, the Boston Red Sox had scored five runs in the fourth inning, taking advantage of Tampa Bays bad luck and bad defence to overcome an early deficit and beat the Rays 12-2 on Friday in Game 1 of the AL division series. "You play 162 games, a lot of innings, a lot of pitches, a lot of runs. One thing you can guarantee in the playoffs is youre going to see something you havent seen all year," said Jonny Gomes, who doubled to tie the game and then scored from second on an infield single to give Boston the lead for good. "And we saw that right away." Needing a 163rd game to earn a wild-card berth, the Rays won three win-or-go-home games in three different cities to reach this series. Now they need a victory in Game 2 on Saturday to tie the best-of-five series before it shifts to St. Petersburg, Fla., for Games 3 and 4. "Weve been playing very well. Weve not been making any mistakes. We made a bunch tonight," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "But Ive also learned one other thing regarding baseball: 24 hours can make a huge difference. Thats just one game, baby. Thats just one. Well be back tomorrow, I promise you. Well be ready to play. We will not be affected mentally by tonights game." Jon Lester allowed three hits in 7 2-3 innings for the AL East champions, giving up solo homers to Sean Rodriguez and Ben Zobrist to spot the Rays a 2-0 lead through the top of the fourth. Tampa Bay starter Matt Moore had still not given up a hit. But Dustin Pedroia led off the bottom half with a single up the middle, and then David Ortiz hit a high fly ball that centre fielder Desmond Jennings and right fielder Wil Myers converged on. The Rays rookie raised his right hand to call off Jennings but let it fall behind him and bounce off the warning track and into the bullpen for a double. "I was under the ball and I saw Des out of the corner of my eye and backed off," Myers said. "I messed it up, and it wont happen again. ... That play kind of gave them a spark, and a good team takes advantage of it." With a derisive cheer of "Myers" echoing through the ballpark, Mike Napoli popped up to second base for the first out before Gomes hit a fly ball that scraped the left-field wall on the way down. Pedroia held to tag up, then scored easily with Ortiz coming in just a few steps behind him to make it 2-2. Jarrod Saltalamacchia struck out before Stephen Drew hit a slow hopper to first that James Loney fielded and flicked to Moore. But the pitchers foot came down a split second after Drews; with Moore facing the wrong way, Gomes never slowed down as he rounded third and scored without a throw. Will Middlebrooks followed with a line drive to left that took a bad hop off the Monster where the AL East standings are posted, and it got past Rodriguez on the rebound. That allowed Drew to score and make it 4-2, while Middlebrooks went into second with a double. Jacoby Ellsbury reached on a passed ball on strike three -- which would have been the third out of the inning -- and Middlebrooks moved to third, where he scored on Shane Victorinos single to make it 5-2. None of the misplays was scored an error. "That Myers play obviously gave us some momentum," Victorino said. "All those kind of things and it became a snowball effect. Plays like that happen. Youve got to thrive and youve got to get as many runs as you can when a mistake like that is made." The Red Sox added three more runs to chase Moore in the fifth inning, when they sent nine batters to the plate -- the first time in franchise history they have batted around in consecutive innings in a post-season game. In all, Moore was charged with eight runs -- seven earned -- on eight hits, two walks a hit batter and a wild pitch, striking out four in 4 1-3 innings. Lester struck out the first four batters he faced, but gave up homers over the Monster to Rodriguez in the second and Zobrist in the fourth. In all, he allowed three hits and three walks while striking out seven before leaving with two on and two out in the eighth. Junichi Tazawa got Myers on a line drive to right to end the eighth, and extra starter Ryan Dempster got the last three outs. Victorino had three hits and Saltalamacchia had three RBIs for the Red Sox, who tied for the best record in baseball this season a year after finishing last. Every Boston starter got a hit and scored a run, the first time a team had done that in the post-season since Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio and the Yankees in the 1936 World Series. "No longer its the best team, its the hottest team," Gomes said. "And we obviously know Tampa is coming in hot, coming in on a roll. So it took a couple of innings to break the ice, but once Petey got that hit up the middle, I think that took a lot of questions out." The clubs got to the ballpark for the series opener to find the tarp on the field, but the rain let up a few hours before game time and made way for a pregame ceremony to honour the victims and first-responders of the Boston Marathon bombings. With a giant "B Strong" logo mowed into the centre field grass, the families of the late Krystle Campbell and Sean Collier took the field, followed by marathon volunteers, doctors and nurses, police officers and others who helped out after the April 15 explosions that killed three and wounded at least 260 more. Campbell was one of three people killed in the bombings. Collier was a MIT police officer shot during the manhunt for the bombers. Players, managers and coaches from both teams lined up on the first- and third-base lines and applauded throughout the ceremony. A giant U.S. flag was draped over the Green Monster for the national anthem, and Cowboy-hatted good Samaritan Carlos Arredondo joined former New England Patriot Joe Andruzzi to shout the traditional "Play Ball!" "Maybe our place in this market, this city, is we take those things to heart," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "And in some ways this game and what we do here at Fenway is a vehicle to acknowledge others." NOTES: Rodriguez made a diving catch of Gomes sinking liner in the second inning. ... Lester went nine straight outings without allowing a homer before giving one up to Baltimores Brian Roberts in his last start of the regular season. ... John Lackey will face David Price in Game 2, which is scheduled to start at 5:07 p.m. EDT. ... Moore had been 10-1 in 16 road starts this season. ... The Rays used potential Game 4 starter Chris Archer to get four outs. ... Actor John Travolta was in the crowd. Luke Kuechly Jersey . Harris has played in six games since joining the Argos in 2012, completing 17-of-35 passes for 256 yards and one touchdown. Cameron Artis-Payne Jersey . Jamies number grades given are out of five, with five being the best mark. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers (5) – He had good saves on Giroux, Akeson, and Hartnell tonight. http://www.thepanthersofficialstore.com/authentic-thomas-davis-panthers-jersey/ . His actions are much louder on the Fenway Park mound. De La Rosa had another strong home start, going seven solid innings to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.Toronto Argonauts quarterback Ricky Ray took first team reps at practice on Thursday, fueling speculation that he may return to action this weekend. Ray suffered a partially torn muscle in his throwing shoulder in a game against the Calgary Stampeders in Week 9. He was expected to be out up to six weeks. "Obviously, its not 100 per cent like it would be at the beginning of the year but it feels good," said Ray after practice. "I dont think about it when Im throwing." The Argonauts lost their next game but then made CFL history, winning four consecutive road games with Zach Collaros at the helm. Shoould Ray play on Thanksgiving Day in Hamilton, it would be six weeks since he suffered the injury. Daryl Williams Jersey. "Its hard to say. This is really my first full day back in a couple months. If I can get through tomorrow and the next day, Ill have a good shot," added Ray. However, head coach Scott Milanovich stopped short of making any confirmation that Ray would be starting on Monday. "Were going to be cautious and wait to see how he feels (tomorrow)," said Milanovich. The Argonauts look to avenge last weeks loss to the Tiger-Cats in the second half of a home-and-home set.
