ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox finish the season with 22 of their remaining 38 games on the road, but nights like Mondays 6-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays -- giving the Red Sox the second-best road record in the American League at 32-27 -- provides them with confidence down the stretch.Weve embraced it, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. So much has been made that were going to have such a tough road, and dont get me wrong, we have a tough road ahead of us, regardless of where were playing. But the fact that our guys have let it roll off their back. Theyve bonded even closer together as we get deeper into the season.Tuesday nights game at Tropicana Field pits two starting pitchers at opposite ends of the spectrum. Bostons Clay Buchholz has a career 2.63 ERA in 20 starts against the Rays, second best of any pitcher with 10 or more starts.For all that success, hes just 8-7 during his career against the Rays, and hasnt faced them since May 2015, when he gave up nine hits and five earned runs in 6 1/3 innings. He has struggled this season with a 4-9 record and a 5.42 ERA.Thats stellar compared with Rays starter Chris Archer, who has a major-league leading 16 losses this year and is facing a historic stretch of losing against the Red Sox.Archer is 1-9 in his career with a 5.82 ERA against Boston, having lost nine straight decisions, the longest stretch for any pitcher since Mike Moore lost 10 straight from 1987 to 1992. Archer is worse this season, with an 0-3 record and an 8.10 ERA in three starts.The Rays will need him to last deeper into the game than Monday starter Blake Snell, who survived only 3 2/3 innings, setting up a bullpen that gave up four runs and five hits, tasked with getting five-plus innings against a tough Boston lineup.We fell behind early, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Blake just struggled to find the zone and it drove his pitch count up. He did some good things getting ahead of hitters, but it seemed like there were too many bullets wasted, leading to too many walks (five). When you walk this team eight (total) times, youre going to make it difficult to win a ballgame because theyre so deep offensively.Farrell said Bostons strong play, especially on the road, has started with excellent pitching, like David Prices eight shutout innings on Monday and what he hopes is a solid outing now from Buchholz against a team he has a history of strong pitching for a full decade.More importantly, its the way weve pitched, bar none, Farrell said. Weve been in a good run for a solid month, and thats whats allowed us to extend any kind of streaks.Toronto Blue Jays Shirts . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler.

If you think negatively, its hard to get out of tense moments. So I try to think about what I did last year, what Ive done in other years.For another past U.S. Open finalist, this tournament is also a rush of positive thoughts. Caroline Wozniacki, a former top-ranked player, had failed to win any matches at the majors this year when she arrived at Flushing Meadows.Now shes into the round of 16 -- the first time since January shes posted three victories at the same event.It feels like my back garden and everything feels so familiar, said Wozniacki, whose ranking is down to No. 74 after a string of injuries.For both women, the U.S. Open has been by far the most successful of the majors. Wozniacki has reached the final twice to go along with two other semifinal appearances; shes been to the semis only once at the other three Grand Slams combined.This is the fourth time Vinci has made the round of 16 at the U.S. Open -- shes done it just three times total at the other majors. And last year, she stunned Serena Williams in the semis, thwarting the Americans Grand Slam bid and sending Vinci to her first major final at age 32. Vinci also won a U.S. Open doubles title in 2012 with Sara Errani -- on Louis Armstrong Stadium, where she played Friday.The seventh-seeded Vinci didnt drop a game in the first set, failed to serve out the match in the second, then hung on in the third, needing nearly two hours to top 102nd-ranked Carina Witthoeft 6-0, 5-7, 6-3.Wozniacki had an easier time in the third rounnd against the tricky slice forehand of 58th-ranked Monica Niculescu, winning 6-3, 6-1.dddddddddddd She believes the combination of the Wilson balls used at the U.S. Open and the speed of the courts is perfect for her game.The ball goes through the air very quickly, but the court kind of slows it down a little bit, she said. So it fits my game well. I can run a lot of balls down. But at the same time, I can get a lot out of my shots, as well.And she enjoys the buzz that ripples through Arthur Ashe Stadium, a sound that can distract other players. Wozniacki won on Ashe on Friday and almost certainly will be back there Sunday against American Madison Keys.The eighth-seeded Keys leaned on the urging of the home crowd on Ashe on Friday when she rallied from down two breaks in the third set for another great escape. Japanese teenager Naomi Osaka twice served for the match, but Keys got the break both times and went on to win in a third-set tiebreaker 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (3).Keys was also two points from defeat in the first round against 60th-ranked Alison Riske. Asked on court if Fridays win was the best comeback of her career, Keys said: For sure. Hands down.Keys is well aware that Denmarks Wozniacki, who has an apartment in Manhattan, is a fan favorite at the U.S. Open who will draw plenty of cheers Sunday. Vinci, too, has been wildly popular ever since she charmed the crowd in her on-court interview after last years win over Williams.Vinci was wearing a U.S. Olympic team T-shirt after Fridays victory. She bought it recently because she thought it looked cool, and the fans in Flushing Meadows would probably agree they consider the Italian a member of the home team. ' ' '
