PHILADELPHIA — Nathan Karns homered and pitched five innings, ruining the major league debut of Philadelphia’s Aaron Nola and leading the Rays to a 1-0 victory over the Phillies on Tuesday night.
Karns (5-5) allowed three hits, struck out four and walked two, marking the 14th game in which the right-hander has allowed two earned runs or less. Karns bounced back from his last outing on July 9 when he allowed career-highs of seven runs and nine hits in an 8-3 loss at Kansas City to help the Rays win for just the third time in the past 13 games on the road.
