Rasmussen Shuts Door for Rays | Tampa Bay Rays News

Drew Rasmussen shredded the Chicago White Sox in a one-hit, 10-strikeout masterpiece, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a gritty 1-0 victory. With just five hits and one run — courtesy of Jonny DeLuca’s steal and Nick Fortes’ single — the Rays leaned on Rasmussen’s dominance and a flawless bullpen to seal the win. Rasmussen’s 23rd straight game with two walks or fewer included a strikeout barrage after walking the leadoff batter, who was thrown out trying to steal. Cam Booser, Kevin Kelly, Garrett Cleavinger, and Bryan Baker shut the door, with Baker notching his 31st save — the most in MLB this season. A pitchers’ duel turned into a statement win for Tampa Bay. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
