Rays 7 Nats 2: Sweet Sweep

There are 29 MLB teams that have a loss. None of which are the Tampa Bay Rays.

Today’s getaway day contest featured the rubber match of the series, the left-handers Shane McClanahan for the Rays and Patrick Corbin for the Nationals.

The game began with Wander Franco lining a single to right, and shortly thereafter being picked off at first base by Corbin.

In the bottom of the first, Lane Thomas walked and stole second base. After the swiped bag, the bottom of the frame remained quiet with McClanahan retiring 2-3-4 hitters in order.

Randy Arozarena, Harold Ramirez, and Taylor Walls would all single in the top of the second, and Jose Siri went on to hit a sacrifice fly to right to score Arozarena, to break the scoreless tie and put the Rays up a run.
