ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The latest memorable night for David Ortiz ended badly for the Boston Red Sox.Ortiz became the oldest player ever to hit 30 homers in a season, but the Tampa Bay Rays came back from a three-run deficit to beat Boston 4-3 in 11 innings on Wednesday night and prevent the Red Sox from taking sole possession of first place in the American League East.Its hard to lose a game like that at this time, Ortiz said. You expect to win that kind of game, especially the stage that we are in now. Luke Maile doubled with two out in the 11th and scored from second base after Red Sox pitcher Heath Hembree (4-1) dropped a throw to first on Kevin Kiermaiers grounder. Hembrees throw to the plate beat Maile, but catcher Sandy Leon dropped the ball as Maile slid across with the winning run.Thats kind of a routine 3-to-1 play, Boston manager John Farrell said. Unfortunately, it comes at a time where youve got two outs and the guy is on the move, and it ends up being the difference in this one.Brad Boxberger (2-0) got the win after one inning of relief.Its fun anytime you can walk off in front of your fans and have a celebration out there on the field. We dont get to do that very much, Kiermaier said. Its a win. Well take it.Boston has won 10 of its past 13 games and remains tied in first with Toronto after the?Blue Jays lost 8-2 to the Los Angeles Angels.Bidding to become the majors first 18-game winner, Bostons?Rick Porcello allowed Evan Longorias tying homer in the eighth before leaving with 7? innings pitched. It was Longorias 30th homer.Red Sox rookie Andrew Benintendi left the game in the seventh with a left knee sprain after being tagged out by shortstop Matt Duffy on a double play.Its stiff. I can put a little bit of weight [on it], not trying to push it or overdo it, Benintendi said. Come back tomorrow and see how it feels. It was bad baserunning. It shouldnt happen.The 40-year-old Ortiz hit the first pitch he saw from starter Matt Andriese in the first inning for a two-run homer. Ortiz is the only player with 30 homers and 100 RBIs in each of the past four seasons, and he is the first Red Sox player to drive in 100 runs 10 times.We need that, we need offense, Ortiz said. Weve had a good offense this year, and thats whats keeping us alive, so hopefully it continues.Ortiz has 533 home runs, one shy of Jimmie Foxx for 18th on the career list. Ortiz plans to retire at the end of the season.Porcello pitched seven or more innings for a career-high sixth straight start. His 123 pitches were a career high. The right-hander gave up three runs and nine hits while striking out eight, failing to win for only the second time in 11 starts since June 23.Mookie Betts drove in Bostons third run with a third-inning single, one of two hits in his 54th multihit game of the season.RED SOXS ROTATING ROTATIONFarrell said knuckleballer Steven Wright (strained right shoulder) will be reinstated from the 15-day disabled list to start on Friday night against Kansas City. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (left hamstring) will have a bullpen session on Thursday, which will help determine where he will be inserted into the rotation. Also to be determined is the role of RHP Clay Buchholz, who was moved out of the bullpen on Aug. 13 and made three solid starts. Once we get through [Thursday], well have more clarity, Farrell said.SIX-MAN ROTATION LIKELY FOR RAYSWith Alex Cobb and/or Chase Whitley coming back from injuries and rookie Blake Snell facing limits on his innings, the Rays are considering a six-man rotation down the stretch, and even that would mean removing a current starter from the mix.I think thats probably a good option, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Were not going to draw straws and say one guys out of the rotation, but were going to have to find a way to get everybody their innings.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: 3B Pablo Sandoval, expected to be ready for spring training next year after having left shoulder surgery in May, has resumed working out at third base. ... RHP Carson Smith (Tommy John surgery) will start throwing in 3? weeks.Rays: RHP Cobb (Tommy John surgery) will make his final rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A Durham and hopes to have his first major league appearance in almost two years during a Sept. 2-4 series against Toronto.UP NEXTLHP Drew Pomeranz will make his eighth start for the Red Sox on Thursday against Rays RHP Jake Odorizzi, who is 5-0 with a 1.64 ERA in six starts since the All-Star break.

At her pre-Wimbledon news conference Saturday, Sharapova was asked about a recent Rolling Stone article where the author surmised that critical comments directed at an unnamed player by Williams were referring to Sharapova. "At the end of the day, we have a tremendous amount of respect for what we do on the court. I just think she should be talking about her accomplishments, her achievements, rather than everything else thats just getting attention and controversy," Sharapova said. "If she wants to talk about something personal, maybe she should talk about her relationship and her boyfriend that was married and is getting a divorce and has kids," Sharapova continued. "Talk about other things, but not draw attention to other things. She has so much in her life, many positives, and I think thats what it should be about." Williams has been linked to coach Patrick Mouratoglou, but neither has confirmed their relationship extends beyond the court. When Mouratoglou was asked about the topic at the French Open this month, he smiled and replied: "Sorry. I dont understand the question." According to the Rolling Stone story, posted online Tuesday, Williams spoke about what the reporter described as "a top-five player who is now in love." Williams is quoted as saying: "She begins every interview with Im so happy. Im so lucky -- its so boring. Shes still not going to be invited to the cool parties. And, hey, if she wants to be with the guy with a black heart, go for it." That is followed by these words in parentheses from the author of the piece, Stephen Rodrick: "An educated guess is shes talking about Sharapova, who is now dating Grigor Dimitrov, one of Serenas rumoured exes.dddddddddddd" Sharapova beat Williams in the 2004 Wimbledon final. But Williams has won their past 13 matches in a row, including in the French Open final two weeks ago. At Wimbledon, where play begins Monday, Williams is the defending champion and seeded No. 1. Sharapova is seeded No. 3. They only could face each other in the final. Williams is scheduled to hold a pre-tournament news conference at Wimbledon on Sunday. The Rolling Stone article, which was about 4,000 words, drew widespread attention mostly for a one-paragraph reference to the Steubenville rape case. Williams is quoted as saying the teenage victim "shouldnt have put herself in that position." Two players from the Steubenville, Ohio, high school football team were convicted in March of raping a drunken 16-year-old girl; one of the boys was ordered to serve an additional year for photographing the girl naked. The case gained widespread attention in part because of the callousness with which other students used social media to gossip about it. A day after the story was posted, Williams issued a statement in which she said she was "reaching out to the girls family to let her know that I am deeply sorry for what was written." Williams statement continued: "What was written -- what I supposedly said -- is insensitive and hurtful, and I by no means would say or insinuate that she was at all to blame." Said Sharapova on Saturday: "I was definitely sad to hear what she had to say about the whole case." ' ' '
