Boxberger fired a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Orioles, allowing a hit and recording two strikeouts.
Boxberger fired 11 of his 14 pitches for strikes while erasing the bad taste of his two most recent appearances -- outings in which he'd given up a combined four earned runs over two innings. The 29-year-old right-hander is likely to continue seeing plenty of eighth-inning work in games where the Rays have a lead, allowing him to serve as a bridge to closer Alex Colome. However, given that he compiled plenty of ninth-inning experience in his own right prior to this season, Boxberger could also see the occasional save opportunity in games where Colome isn't available.
