Catch him if you can: Simpson's pinch-hit heroics lift Rays over Red Sox

BOSTON – The Rays love Chandler Simpson’s bat-to-ball skills for good reason. Entering Thursday’s action, among the 332 hitters with at least 100 swings, his 10.9 percent whiff rate was fifth-lowest, trailing only Cleveland’s Steven Kwan, San Francisco’s Luis Arraez, Miami’s Liam Hicks and the Cubs' Nico Hoerner.
