Red Sox starter Wade Miley matched a season high with eight strikeouts, but he suffered the loss, Saturday against Tampa.
Miley's record dropped to 7-7 as he snapped a personal two-game winning streak. After four scoreless innings on Saturday, he surrendered a two-run home run in the fifth for the only damage of the day.
"I thought Wade pitched very well," Red Sox manager John Farrell said, per MLB.com. "You know, he gets in a 1-2 count to Elmore that the slider doesn't get to the intended spot for the two-run homer. But even when he had men on, he made big pitches."
Miley allowed five hits and walked two over 6 1/3 innings.
