BOSTON -- Another tough game for the Red Sox bullpen.This time followed by a save from the Boston bats.Aaron Hill sliced an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth after Tampa Bay tied it in the top half of the inning, and the Red Sox held on for an 8-6 victory over the Rays on Wednesday.We had to find a way to fight back again, manager John Farrell said after the Red Sox finished the homestand with a 3-3 record and headed to the West Coast for the first six in a nine-game road trip.Hanley Ramirez hit a fifth-inning grand slam to erase a 4-1 deficit, and Jackie Bradley Jr. added a solo shot in the sixth to give Boston a 6-4 lead. But one game after the Red Sox blew a two-run lead in the seventh, the Rays loaded the bases against Fernando Abad in the eighth and Logan Forsythe hit a two-run single off Junichi Tazawa (3-2) to tie it.In the bottom half, Ramirez led off with a walk, Sandy Leon bunted him to second and pinch-hitter Brock Holt singled him to third. Hill followed with a single past the first baseman to score Ramirez, and Bradley hit an RBI double to make it 8-6.Difficult loss, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. A walk here and couple of hits, then the big home run by Hanley really killed us.Xander Bogaerts also homered for the Red Sox, and Bradley had three hits. Dustin Pedroia had three more hits for Boston, which had lost five of its previous seven games after moving into a tie for first place in the AL East.Pedroia has 15 hits in his last 20 at-bats and is batting .463 since moving into the leadoff spot on Aug. 10.Erasmo Ramirez (7-10) gave up Hills single and an RBI double by Bradley in the eighth.Kevin Kiermaier had three hits for the Rays, and Forsythe and Logan Morrison each homered as Tampa Bay opened a 4-1 lead through four innings.But Boston took the lead in the fifth after Drew Smyly loaded the bases on two hits and a two-out walk. Ramirez hit the next pitch over the Green Monster for his 19th homer of the season.CUBAN CALL-UPThe Red Sox will promote Cuban infielder Yoan Moncada from Double-A Portland before Fridays game at Oakland.Moncada signed with Boston for $31.5 million in February 2015 in a deal that cost the Red Sox $63 million due to a tax penalty on international amateur free agents.The 21-year-old will report from Double-A Portland, where he is hitting .285 with 11 homers and nine stolen bases in 44 games. He opened the year with Class A Salem, where he hit .307 with four homers and 36 steals in 61 games.LOST OPPORTUNITYThe Rays made it 4-1 on Kiermaiers single in the fourth, but they could have had another if Tim Beckham hadnt slowed up along the third base line on the way home. Kiermaier was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double, and Beckham hadnt yet touched home plate.Asked which mistake was worse, the out on the basepaths or the squandered run, Cash said: Definitely the not hustling.Thats required of us and probably the easiest part to do in baseball, he said.NOT AVAILABLECraig Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his 24th save. Farrell said his closer was not available to get a four-out save a day after throwing 22 pitches in a non-save situation just so he could get his work in. I was not going to go with a short turnaround, Farrell said.WRIGHTS STUFFBoston knuckleballer Steven Wright lasted only four innings, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks. In two starts since coming back from a right shoulder strain, Wright has allowed nine runs on 14 hits in 19 innings.I felt like it was hard for me to get the same life, the same action I had pre-injury, he said.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: RP Brad Ziegler was unavailable with the flu. Farrell said he would fly on his own to the West Coast to keep him away from others ... being so contagious.UP NEXTRays: Off Thursday, home against Toronto on Friday with Alex Cobb making his 2016 debut against Francisco Liriano (7-12).Red Sox: Off Thursday, at Oakland on Friday with David Price (13-9) against Andrew Triggs (1-1).

Olympic skeleton champion Lizzy Yarnold has threatened to boycott Februarys World Championships in Sochi due to ongoing concerns over state-sponsored doping.Yarnold criticised the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) for not doing more to address concerns over the awarding of the event to the Russian city, and said she will head into the new World Cup circuit unconvinced that her sport is clean.Yarnold is preparing to embark on a new World Cup season later this month after taking a one-year sabbatical in the wake of her Olympic triumph in Sochi in 2014.Russias sliding programme was implicated in a report into doping improprieties by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren earlier this year, and a second report scheduled for December is expected to reveal further breaches.Yarnold said: I hope the IBSF are going to have serious discussions about what theyre going to do about the World Championships in Sochi.We know that it may be a state-sponsored doping issue and I dont want to compete at an event where there are not clean athletes and questions over what is going to happen to my doping samples.We need to find out more but if nothing changes ahead of the Sochi World Championships then I wouldnt rule out not competing.The IBSF awarded the World Championships to Sochi in June 2013, a decision which pre-dated the International Olympic Committees announcement last year that preparations for the staging of future international winter sports events in Russia should be postponed pending the outcome of the McLaren investigation.ddddddddddddThe IBSF, which was not immediately available for comment, has so far shown no inclination to pursue an alternative venue and Yarnold added: I am really surprised that the IBSF havent taken a stronger stance.The IOC and WADA [the world anti-doping agency] have recommended the Championships arent in Russia and that is something I would stand by and support.I dont think we can be completely certain [that all athletes are clean]. There are certain nations which are not WADA-compliant, so it is a fear.The saddest thing is that clean athletes have been missing out on medals and titles and that really upsets me -- we will just have to wait and see what happens.GB Bobsleigh performance director Gary Anderson echoed Yarnolds concerns, saying his team will fully review any new revelations from McLaren before deciding on a course of action.The GB Bobsleigh team have particular reason to maintain an interest given their fifth place finish in the four-man event at the Sochi Olympics -- behind two Russian crews.Anderson said: Weve got to make a big decision with regard to attending the Worlds. We have to think about the athletes, the programme and Great Britain.All that has to be taken into account when we make the decision because at the moment it [competing in Russia] is not something I look forward to.
