The Rays came into the four-game set against the Red Sox looking to produce more offense than they had in their first 15 games of the season. Apparently, a trip to Fenway Park was all they needed to turn things around.

The Rays wrapped up a four-game sweep against the Red Sox with a 17-8 win on Thursday, becoming the first team to accomplish the feat since the Angels did it in 2014. And they did it in emphatic fashion.

The Rays’ offense scored 42 runs in the four games, which is a new franchise record for most runs in a series against any opponent. Tampa Bay also set new franchise records with 59 hits in a series and 24 extra-base hits.

“It doesn’t surprise me because of the talent we have here,” said Rays shortstop Willy Adames. “We have great players and we pick up each other. That shows you what type of talent we have here. Now we have to keep rolling, we have to keep having fun, we have to keep winning games, because that’s the only way we’re going to get to the World Series.”

Every member of the Rays’ lineup contributed to the onslaught, each recording at least one run or one RBI as they chased Kyle Hart after just two-plus innings in his Major League debut. Among the many contributors, Brandon Lowe was able to continue his impressive start to the season.

After Wednesday’s game, in which he hit a home run, Lowe said he really enjoyed hitting at Fenway Park, but he couldn’t find the words to describe exactly why. His 459-foot homer in the third inning did all the talking.

With the home run off Hart, Lowe’s numbers at Fenway Park are straight out of a video game. In eight career games in Boston, Lowe is hitting .452 (14-for-31) with four home runs. Lowe leads the Rays with five home runs, and he now has 13 extra-base hits this season, tying Oakland’s Matt Chapman and San Diego’s Fernando Tatis Jr. for the most in the Majors.

Though Lowe continued his success, he wasn’t the only Rays player to find some over the last four days, especially on Thursday. Hunter Renfroe displayed the power that led to Tampa Bay acquiring him in the offseason, launching two home runs -- including a towering blast over the Green Monster in the sixth. Renfroe's homer had an exit velocity of 106.0 mph, a launch angle of 25 and traveled 395 feet, according to Statcast.

“It’s pretty cool,” Renfroe said of clearing the Monster. “Obviously this is a historic field and a beautiful field, just to kind of check that off my home run list of stadiums to hit one is pretty cool. The history behind the stadium, who’s played here -- it means a lot.”

“I don’t know if I’ve seen a ball hit further at this ballpark,” Rays manager Kevin Cash added. “There were a bunch of big hits today, but hopefully guys can continue that feeling of putting numbers up on the board and getting runs for us.”

Yandy Díaz, Manuel Margot and Adames -- who came a home run short of the cycle on Thursday -- all had a successful series against the Red Sox. Díaz recorded eight hits in the four-game set and reached base 11 times, pushing his on-base streak to 19 games.

Margot, who got off to a rough start at the plate, got some payback against a Red Sox organization that signed him out of the Dominican Republic in 2011. Margot finished with 10 hits in the series, falling just one shy of tying Carl Crawford for the most hits in a single series in franchise history.

“It’s amazing the way that he’s been swinging the bat, I’m so happy for him,” said Adames, who lived with Margot during the shutdown. “He’s having fun on the field and I know that’s going to help him. And for me to see that he’s swinging the bat like that, it makes me happy. I hope he continues to rake like that.”

With the win, the Rays have now won six straight games and are 12-8 one-third of the way through the season. Tampa Bay has also won eight straight games at Fenway Park, becoming the first team to win at least eight in a row in Boston since the 1987-89 Blue Jays, who won 15 in a row.

“I think guys are sort of getting into [their] role and realizing to just have your at-bat and hand the baton off to the guy behind you, and the production is coming,” said Rays catcher Mike Zunino, who launched his second homer of the season Thursday. “I think when we put together good at-bats, work our counts, there’s a lot of productive bats in this lineup. I think we’re going to continue to build off that and bring that into Buffalo against Toronto and see how it goes.”
