ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Andrew Miller threw a force attempt at second base into centre field, allowing pinch-runner Cole Figueroa to score in the bottom of the 15th inning as the Tampa Bay Rays handed the Boston Red Sox their ninth consecutive loss, 6-5 Saturday. Boston scored five runs in the first inning but still lost its ninth in a row for the first time since Aug. 25-Sept. 4, 2001. James Loney opened the 15th with a single off Miller (1-4). Figueroa ran for Loney and went to second on Brandon Guyers bunt single. He scored when Miller threw the ball into centre field while attempting to get a double play on Desmond Jennings grounder. Cesar Ramos (2-3) allowed an infield single and two walks in three scoreless innings for the win. Five Tampa Bay pitchers limited Boston to six hits, with just two coming after the first inning. A.J. Pierzynski homered for the Red Sox in a game that took 5 hours, 16 minutes. Matt Joyce had an RBI single and Guyer drove in two with a double off Jake Peavy in the fifth as the Rays rallied from a five-run deficit to tie it at 5. Logan Forsythe had a second-inning sacrifice fly and an RBI single during the fourth. The struggling Boston offence broke out against David Price. After Mike Carp was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Jonny Gomes had a sacrifice fly, Pierzynski connected on a three-run homer. Boston, which scored just 16 runs in its previous eight games, had just two baserunners -- Gomes walk in the third and an eighth-inning single by Xander Bogaerts -- over the next seven innings against Price, who allowed five runs and five hits in eight innings. Bogaerts left the game due to right hamstring cramps and was replaced defensively at shortstop by Jonathan Herrera in the 11th. Peavy gave up five runs and eight hits over six innings. The Red Sox used a makeshift lineup with David Ortiz, Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino all out with injuries. Saturday was a planned off day for Ortiz, who has calf soreness. Napoli could sit out a few games due to lingering affects of flu-like symptoms along with hamstring, calf and finger issues. Victorino was placed on the 15-day disabled list after aggravating a right hamstring injury running to first base in the ninth inning of Fridays 1-0 loss to the Rays. Ortiz hit a grounder pinch-hitting in the 10th. NOTES: Boston recalled OF Daniel Nava from Triple-A Pawtucket.

Hi Kerry, Im sure youve received many emails wondering what your take is on the Spezza goal that looked like Neil blatantly kicked it in while standing directly in the middle of the crease where, you know, usually a goalie is to make a save but couldnt be due to Neil being there! Thanks! Jon - Westfield, MA Jon: Lets first ask Henrik Lundqvist what he thought of the scoring of the Sens second goal with .Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Elite defensive talent is hard to come by in the NHL. Every summer at the draft, there are usually only a handful of guys who figure to have the size, skill set and mental acumen to be a legitimate No. 1 defenseman. There is the rare exception, of course. Since talent evaluators are only human, they sometimes take a big swing and a miss when sizing up certain players. Calgarys Mark Giordano is one of those guys, and at the age of 31, the Flames captain is finally getting the recognition he deserves. With over a quarter of the regular season in the books, Giordano has established himself as the top candidate for the Norris Trophy. And if the Flames are able to keep up their surprisingly great start to the season, Giordano even has a real chance at winning the Hart Trophy. Already considered one of the best undrafted players of his generation, if Giordano wins the Norris as the leagues top defenseman he could join Martin St. Louis as one of the best undrafted guys of all time. If he wins the Hart -- the leagues MVP award -- then we may someday be talking about Mark Giordano, Hockey Hall of Famer. To say the least, Giordanos road to NHL stardom has been anything but usual. A little over a decade ago, he was draft eligible in the summer of 2003 and every single NHL team took a pass. Nine rounds came and went and nobody believed Giordano was worthy of a pick. A total of 292 names were called but Giordanos was not among them. Luckily, the Flames saw enough in Giordano to sign him as an undrafted free agent in 2004 following his final junior season with Owen Sound of the Ontario Hockey League. Calgarys general manager at the time -- Darryl Sutter -- gets recognition for inking him to an AHL contract, but Giordanos work ethic is what makes the signing look like the coup it is seen as today. Although Giordano was named to the OHLs All-Rookie team in 2002-03, his lack of size for a defenseman (6-feet, 203 pounds) made him an undesirable draft prospect. Instead of being discouraged, however, Giordano simply worked harder than everybody else until he proved he belonged in the NHL. He couldve taken his foot off the pedal then, but thats just not the way Giordano is wired. Calgary centerman Matt Stajan knew Giordano from their days playing against each other in the OHL. When Giordano recently was named the NHLs Fiirst Star for November, Stajan told the Calgary Sun all about his captains legendary work ethic.dddddddddddd He kind of always flew under the radar, and I never really understood why, Stajan recounted. Once he got his shot and then coming to be his teammate and watching the way he works, he just wants more. Hes never satisfied. With his hard work, hes always trying to reach that next level. When your best player is the hardest-working player Ive ever been associated with on any team, it says a lot about him as our captain. Although he proved himself as an integral part of Calgarys blue line several seasons ago, the Toronto native has been unfairly overlooked for most of his NHL career. But, as Giordano approaches his 500th NHL game, the spotlight on him has never been brighter. For the last few years, proponents of advanced statistics have counted Giordano among the best NHL defensemen but it took an increase in offensive production to get everybody on the same page. Last season, Giordano set career bests in both goals (14) and points (47) despite injuries limiting him to only 64 games. His offensive game has reached new heights in 2014-15, as Giordano is on pace for a point-per-game season with six goals and 21 assists in 27 games. Along with defensive partner TJ Brodie, a modest fourth-round pick by Calgary in 2008, Giordano is a big reason the supposedly rebuilding Flames would be in the playoffs if the season ended today. The club boasts a stable of young offensive prospects, including Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan, but Calgarys surprising 17-8-2 start to 2014-15 has more to do with its top defensive pairing. The best part for the Flames is Brodie ($2.125 million) and Giordano ($4.02 million) combine for a 2014-15 cap hit of $6.145 million. Thats clearly a bargain for a Calgary team that is currently more than $18 million under the salary cap. While the Flames famously traded away defensemen with better pedigrees in recent years, such as Jay Bouwmeester and Dion Phaneuf, its a safe bet Calgary wont be doing the same with Giordano. However, with one more season left on his contract, the captain will be due a big raise before Calgary allows him to hit the free agent market in the summer of 2016. Given how far he has come already, the Flames may want to think extension now before Giordanos value rises even higher. ' ' '
