Team Cycle

Jason Bartlett triples into the right-center gap with one out in the top of the sixth. Six of the nine hits the Rays collected tonight have gone for extra bases, two doubles, a triple and three home runs.

Update: After a walk to Iwamura, Upton singles to drive in Bartlett and the Rays lead 7-1 in the sixth. Joe Maddon is smiling in the dugout.

Update: Carlos Pena walks to load the bases for Longoria. A long Longoria hit would put this game out of reach.

Update: Longoria draws the third walk of the inning on a 3-2 pitch, and the Rays lead 8-1. That's it for Delcarmen.

Update: Javier Lopez comes in to face Carl Crawford with one out and the bases loaded.

Update: Crawford dinks one into shallow left for a single. That increases the lead to 9-1 and leaves the bases loaded for Aybar. Carl is four for four on the night with two doubles.

Update: Aybar singles through the hole at shortstop. Another run, another bases loaded situation, this time for Navarro. Aybar is three for four with four RBI, and the Rays keeping chipping away.

Update: Navarro hits a soft roller to third. Youkilis doesn't have time to throw home, so he gets the Rays catcher at first. Another run scores and the Rays lead 11-1. Two out in the sixth.

Update: Wow. TBS goes to a commerical early and we don't see the last out of the inning. That was very poor. It doesn't matter that much as the Rays lead 11-1 in the middle of the sixth. Still this is Fenway Park, where anything can happen.

Not sure what you're talking about with TBS going to commercial before the inning ended. I just rewound and saw the final out, they even had a replay showing all the run scoring hits of the inning before they went to commercial.

I'm starting to think it's DirecTV. They get to insert a certain number of commercials, and I think they are doing it at the wrong time.
