Tampa Bay is aiming at Milwaukee Brewers and Atlanta Braves' record of 13-0
The Tampa Bay Rays became the first MLB team in 36 years to open the season with 10 straight wins, getting a solo homer from Brandon Lowe in the eighth inning to beat the Boston Red Sox with the minimal 1-0 on Monday night.
The 1987 Milwaukee Brewers and 1982 Atlanta Braves share the major league record for the best start to a season at 13-0.
The Rays are the seventh team since 1901 to begin the year with 10 or more victories. Lowe got the win for Tampa Bay as he homered for the third straight game, sending a 3-2, one-out pitch from Chris Martin (0-1) into the right-field stands.
