believed his left knee was good enough to go.
Jaso made Maddon's move pay off, playing a huge role in the Rays' 7-2 victory over the Red Sox. He hit a three-run homer in the second inning to start the scoring, threw out 2B Dustin Pedroia on a momentum-swinging strikeout, then knocked RHP John Lackey out of the game after hitting him in the left calf on a line drive in the third.
Jaso added a double and a run scored in the sixth.
"He's not going to be able to sleep (Friday)," Maddon quipped.
Jaso, who tied his season high with three RBIs, said his homer came on a 3 and 1 fastball. Maddon said his liner off Lackey may have been the hardest ball he hit all game. "That ball I definitely squared up, right off the barrel," Jaso said. "I feel (Lackey's) pain."
