Overview

  • Drew Rasmussen delivered five one-hit innings with eight strikeouts and no walks to extend his scoreless run to 23 innings.
  • Kameron Misner’s 88.9 mph fly ball cleared the fence for the season’s softest-hit home run and gave Tampa Bay an early lead.
  • The Rays manufactured three sixth-inning runs on a wild pitch, an infield single and a defensive miscue despite plating only one hit.
  • Junior Caminero stole home in the sixth and added a solo homer in the eighth for his fifth long ball in six games.
  • The victory improved Tampa Bay to 31–29 as the Rays have won 10 of their last 13 games and eight of nine at home.
