ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Bits and pieces from Wednesday night's Rays-Sox game: -- The Red Sox announced last night that they will activate Mike Timlin (knee) from the disabled list on Thursday and option pitcher Chris Smith back to Pawtucket in order to make room. -- Unsurprisingly, J.D. Drew was selected as Player of the Month for June in the American League. He hit .337 with 12 homers and 27 RBI in 26 games. It’s the first time that Drew has received a monthly league award. -- Dustin Pedroia extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a first-inning homer. It was his fifth homer in his last 18 games. During the streak, Pedroia is hitting a smoldering .568 (25-for-44) during the streak, lifting his average from .274 to .311. -- Manny Ramirez was 0-for-11 with five strikeouts in the series. -- The Sox fell to 3-15 indoors this season.
