BOSTON \u2014 Entering Sunday, Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story had not committed an error in 20 straight games. The end of that streak proved costly in a loss to the Rays.<\/p>\n

With Tampa Bay up 1-0 in the third inning and a man on second with one out, the ultra-speedy Chandler Simpson hit a chopper to Story\u2019s right. As runner Nick Fortes tried to take third in front of Story, the shortstop tried to backhand the ball, only for it to skip off his glove and trickle into left field. Fortes came around to score and so did Simpson, two batters later, on a Ben Williamson RBI single.<\/p>\n

The error put the Red Sox (and starter Payton Tolle) in an early, avoidable hole in a game they lost 4-1. Afterwards, Story took responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw it to my right and I saw that he (Fortes) was going to third. I thought for a split second I should get him out and it kinda took my focus off the ball a little bit,\u201d Story said. \u201cIt\u2019s on me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt shows that it\u2019s tough to win in this league making mistakes like that. Can\u2019t happen. You\u2019ve seen the way we can play when we are playing good defense. It\u2019s a strong suit of ours this year. That one\u2019s on me and I have to clean that one up.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Simpson \u2014 and a 29.4 ft\/s sprint speed that ranks among the 16 fastest runners in baseball \u2014 running, Story had to move fast if he wanted to have a play at first. That wasn\u2019t the biggest factor and Fortes didn\u2019t block Story\u2019s vision, the shortstop said. It was more about indecisiveness about where to throw.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was more of the hesitation on if I wanted to get the runner at third in front of me or not,\u201d Story explained. \u201cJust hesitated a bit and that\u2019s all it takes. I got the tough hop, and if I was playing more aggressive, I would have gotten a better hop. That\u2019s what it came down to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay\u2019s other two runs came on a Junior Caminero solo homer in the first and a Cedric Mullins sacrifice bunt in the sixth. That was enough against a Red Sox offense that didn\u2019t get much going against Nick Martinez and a group of strong Rays relievers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s their game,\u201d Story said of the small-ball Rays. \u201cThey\u2019re doing things that are old-school baseball and finding ways to get it done.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt puts a lot of pressure on the defense. Obviously, they\u2019re winning a lot of games that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Story, the moment was a reminder of some early-season struggles on defense. After a throwing slump at the end of last season, he opened the year with four errors in his first 15 games. Sunday\u2019s was his first miscue since April 14 \u2014 and only Boston\u2019s fifth error in the last 24 games. Entering Sunday, the Red Sox led baseball in defensive runs saved (32).<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s been great,\u201d said interim manager Chad Tracy. \u201cI think all of them have been great, at least in my time here. My broad overview of the time here has been, \u2018Man, we catch the ball.\u2019 We\u2019ve done a very, very good job of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt (the defense) has been so good that it\u2019s going to happen from time to time. We\u2019ve got to be able to recover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Story\u2019s struggles at the plate also continued Sunday. He doubled but struck out three times, marking the sixth time in 38 games he has struck out at least three times. Story is hitting .200 with 55 strikeouts, a .236 on-base percentage and a .520 OPS through his first 38 games. Statistically, he has been one of the worst hitters in baseball since Opening Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough to go through in the moment,\u201d he said. \u201cI have confidence I can do it because I\u2019ve done it before. It\u2019s very similar to last year. Takes one game, takes one pitch and I\u2019m always optimistic about it. I\u2019m not gonna sit here and pout about it or sit here and feel sorry for myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more about trying to do too much in the moment. As hitters, we can red-line without knowing it. Sometimes, just trying to touch it works better. That\u2019s where we\u2019re at now because we\u2019ve been working and the work is really good. That\u2019s the frustrating part, that the work is great, then the game comes and it hasn\u2019t executed in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
