ST. PETERSBURG — Yonny Chirinos allowed one run in five innings, Mike Brosseau collected three hits, including a home run, and the Rays completed a sweep of the Marlins with a 7-2 Sunday at Tropicana Field.
Tampa Bay (65-48) has won six straight games, matching a season high, and eight of its past nine games. The Rays are 17 games over .500 for the first time since June 10. They’ve scored at least six runs in seven straight games, the longest such streak in team history.
Chirinos, who threw only 63 pitches, left the game after the fifth inning because of right middle finger inflammation.
