Kristian Campbell stood out for Boston with a .667 batting average and an impressive slugging percentage of 1.667 from his three at-bats, showcasing his potential as a key player for future games.

In contrast, Blake Sabol made his presence felt by achieving a perfect batting average of 1.000 from one at-bat during this matchup. However, these individual performances were not enough to overcome Tampa Bay's dominant display on both sides of play.
