ST. PETERSBURG -- Alex Colome needed to rebound from a bad stretch, and he managed to do so Thursday night in the Rays' 3-0 win over the A's at Tropicana Field.
The Dominican right-hander entered his start on the heels of a two-game funk against the Yankees and Twins. The combined totals from those outings showed an 0-1 record with a 10.61 ERA in 9 1/3 innings.
Prior to those outings, Colome posted wins in his first two starts, allowing two runs on seven hits in 10 innings, pitching to a 1.80 ERA.
