BOSTON 10, TAMPA BAY 6

By FRED GOODALL AP Sports Writer

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.(AP) -- Mike Lowell homered and Kevin Youkilis and Nick Green each drove in three runs to back Tim Wakefield's pitching and help the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 10-6.

Wakefield (3-1) allowed five runs in five-plus innings to improve to 20-5 lifetime against the Rays, including a 10-3 record at Tropicana Field, where the Red Sox won for just the second time in their last 13 games in the domed stadium.

Lowell hit a solo homer in the seventh off Brian Shouse. Youkilis had a two-run double off the left-hander in the sixth, while Green did most of his damage against Rays starter Jeff Niemann (2-3).
