ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- As good as Matt Moore has been, the Tampa Bay Rays believe he can be even better. The 23-year-old lefty pitched six strong innings and beat the Boston Red Sox 5-3 Tuesday night to remain undefeated and claim a share of the major league lead in victories. "Its pretty incredible," manager Joe Maddon said after Moore (7-0) yielded a double to Dustin Pedroia and a three-run homer to David Ortiz in the first, then limited the struggling Red Sox to one hit over the next five innings. Moore, whos in his second full season in the majors, walked two and struck out eight. He also tied Washingtons Jordan Zimmerman for the major league lead in victories, became the first Tampa Bay starter to begin a season 7-0 and tied a club record by winning his eighth straight decision dating to September. "The first inning wasnt as heartbreaking as you would think it would be just because of the way weve been swinging the bats," Moore said. "Its one of those things where you have faith in our team and what our offence is going to do," he added, "and as long as I put up zeroes and leave their lead at three, were going to make it interesting down the road." The Rays overcame the early deficit with a five-run fourth off John Lackey (1-4). Jose Molina and Matt Joyce each drove in two runs in the inning, helping Tampa Bay extend its winning streak to a season-high six games. Boston has lost six of seven, including three straight. The Red Sox dropped to 4-9 in May after going a major league-best 18-8 in April. "Weve seen the past couple years when we was in a funk, its pretty much everybody," Ortiz said. "Its like when were playing well, everybody is performing well at the same time. Kind of strange. If you look right now, its pretty much everybody struggling. Hopefully we bounce back and good things happen." Relievers Jake McGee, Josh Lueke and Joel Peralta got the Rays to the ninth, and closer Fernando Rodney struck out the side to finish the combined three-hitter and earn his seventh save. Ortizs homer was his fifth this season and 27th of his career at Tropicana Field, the most by any opposing player. The designated hitters 67 RBIs at the Trop are second to Manny Ramirezs 72. Moore settled after the home run to retire 12 in a row until Stephen Drew doubled off the right field wall with one out in the fifth for Bostons third hit. "Matts been wonderful, and again hes going to keep getting better. Theres more within Moore," Maddon said. "Weve talked a little bit about the command issue, but he doesnt give up a lot of hits. He might walk a couple of guys, but theyre not beating him up with hits. So theres kind of a balance there." Lackey breezed through the first two innings before working through a tight spot in third, when Tampa Bay loaded the bases with two outs but did not score. The Red Sox werent as fortunate during a fourth inning in which the Rays turned five singles and Luke Scotts RBI double into five runs. Molinas two-run single made it 3-3, and Boston first baseman Mike Napoli misjudged a Joyces infield pop fly that dropped for a two-run single and gave Moore a 5-3 lead. "That was an odd inning to say the least," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "Check-swing double by Scott the other way and with two outs and the tie score, a pop up that looks at the time seemingly harmless, looked like Mike just over ran it a little bit, didnt get good read on it and the ball ends up staying fair for two runs and the difference in the game." Lackey, making his 299th career start and 300th major league appearance overall, allowed five runs and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings. He walked one and struck out three in losing his third straight decision. Despite not having a hit after the fifth inning, the Red Sox managed to put the potential tying runs on base in the seventh when Drew and Jacoby Ellsbury before Shane Victorino lined out to end the threat. Notes: CF Desmond Jennings was back in Tampa Bays lineup after sitting out three games with a sore groin. ... Boston RHP Andrew Bailey (right biceps strain) threw 25 pitches off a bullpen mound and will face hitters on Thursday. Farrell said a decision on whether the reliever will go on a short minor league rehab assignment or be activated from the 15-day disabled list will be made after Thursdays outing. ... Rays LHP David Price, whos been bothered by allergies since spring training, said part of the problem has been chemicals the team uses to wash laundry. In addition to having to deal with a rash on his neck and arms, his allergies have affected his vision at times. He was given some eye drops after undergoing a test for allergies on Tuesday. ... Victorino (ribs) said he feels physically fine and was in the starting lineup two days after crashing into the right field wall at Fenway Park. ...

SILVERSTONE, Great Britain -- Nico Rosberg has been demoted from second to third in the classification for the British Grand Prix after the stewards found Mercedes in breach of team radio restrictions.A gearbox problem in the closing stages of the race saw Rosberg slow before the team informed him to reset a setting via his steering wheel. This was deemed to be in compliance with the regulations, but he was then told to avoid seventh gear for the rest of the race. The stewards deemed the second message to be in breach of Article 27.1 of the Sporting Regulations, which states the driver must drive the car alone and unaided.The stewards issued a ten-second time penalty, dropping Rosberg behind Max Verstappen, who finished 1.339s behind him on the road. The decision was reached after taking into account a technical directive issued by race director Charlie Whiting, which specifically states that drivers must not be given instructions on how to drive the car.Having considered the matter extensively, the stewards determined that the teamm have some instructions to the driver that were specifically permitted under technical directive 014-16, the stewards statement said.dddddddddddd However, the stewards determined that the team then went further and gave instructions to the driver that were not permitted under the technical directive, and were in breach of Article 27.1 of the Sporting Regulations, that the driver must drive the car alone and unaided.The Mercedes-Rosberg communication went as follows:Rosberg: Gearbox problem! Mercedes: Affirm. Chassis default zero one Mercedes: Avoid seventh gear, Nico. Rosberg: Well what does that mean? I have to shift through it? Mercedes: Affirm, Nico, Affirm. You have to shift through it.Rosberg is the first driver to penalised under the team radio restrictions introduced at the start of this year. The loss of one position closes his lead in the standings over teammate Lewis Hamilton to just one point.
