MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The 2019 season continues to be a massive struggle for the undermanned Miami Marlins.
Charlie Morton pitched six strong innings, Avisail Garcia homered and drove in three runs, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Marlins 4-0 on Tuesday night.
Morton (4-0) gave up three hits and struck out five while throwing 82 pitches before he was pulled for a pinch hitter in the top of the seventh inning.
Garcia had a solo homer and two RBI singles for the Rays in the opener of the two-game series against their cross-state interleague rivals.
