The Tampa Bay Rays edged the Boston Red Sox 1-0 on Monday night to become the first major league team since the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers to open the season with 10 straight wins.

Brandon Lowe hit a solo home run in the eighth inning to push the Rays to 10-0. He has nine RBIs over his past three games.

"Brandon had a really good at-bat," Kevin Cash said. "Hung in there on some pitches, and then he got a fastball that he could get the barrel to. And we know that he can knock it out of the ballpark when he connects."

The 1987 Brewers and the 1982 Atlanta Braves share the major league record for the best start to a season at 13-0.
