Boston Lost for Just the Fifth Time in 16 Games

Supra Skytops Red, \"I made a couple of mistakes,\" Chapman said. \"And then you\'re thinking, \'Well, it\'s Supra Skytops Red only four shots now.\' But four shots is a lot.\"
A bogey on No. 17 trimmed Chapman\'s lead to three strokes, but he kept his tee shot in the fairway on No. 18. Chapman missed the green with his approach, but so did Cook. On an emotional walk toward the 18th green, Chapman took his hat off to acknowledge the crowd, then eventually gathered himself and calmly finished with another bogey to win by two.
There were plenty of low scores Sunday, even as Supra Skytops Red the temperature hovered around 90 degrees at the 6,822-yard course. Perry began the day 15 strokes behind the leader, so winning was never realistic, but he put on a clinic, shooting 31 on each nine. Perry broke the Senior PGA Championship record for a single round of 63 set by Arnold Palmer in 1984 and Buck White in 1961, although they both did it on par-72 courses.
\"His control has been pinpoint (lately), those pitches were just a little Supra Skytops Red off,\" Valentine said.
Valentine was visibly upset with the loss, rapidly tapping the press conference room table in frustration after the game. But more than anything he was disappointed for pitcher Clay Buchholz after a great outing from the starter.
\"It got disappointing in the ninth,\" Valentine said. \"I thought we\'d pull that one out, get him one he deserved. I thought he deserved a win, today.\"
Buchholz understands that sometimes luck just won\'t be in Boston\'s favor.
\"Nobody likes losing, but you got to deal with it sometimes,\" Buchholz said. \"They were better for part of the day when I was out there, and they got lucky and hit the ball out (in the ninth).
Will Rhymes went 3 for 3 with three singles and an RBI for the Rays, who lost Saturday night on a pinch-hit, two-run homer by Jarrod Saltalamacchia in the ninth off closer Fernando Rodney.
Buchholz had his best start of the season and Adrian Gonzalez hit a three-run homer for Boston, which was about to move above.500 for the first time this season until Rodriguez hit a drive off Aceves (0-2) over the Green Monster with one out after Ben Zobrist walked.
Boston lost for just the fifth time in 16 games, but dropped two of three in the weekend series that was highlighted by a benches-clearing incident on Friday.
Jake McGee (2-1) retired Gonzalez, the only batter he faced, on a grounder to short to end the eighth with the bases loaded to earn the win.
Rodney pitched the ninth for his 16th save.
It\'s the latest the Red Sox (23-24) haven\'t been over.500 since late August of 1996.
