THE GOOD: Nathan Karns did not allow a hit until the 6th inning and did not allow a run in 6.0 innings, lowering his ERA to 3.28. His ERA over his last 11 starts is even better at 2.49. Karns has now allowed 2 runs or fewer in 11 of 15 starts, tied with Chris Archer for second-most in the AL. Karns now leads all rookies with 77 strikeouts.
THE BAD: The Rays did not even have a baserunner until Lagan Forsythe’s infield single in the 8th inning…The Rays had runners on second and third in the 11th inning with one out.
