The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Oakland Athletics 11-0 to mark their ninth straight win and they're winning at a clip not seen since the late 1880s.
Tampa Bay Rays' Brandon Lowe celebrates in the dugout after hitting a grand slam off Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian on Sunday, April 9, 2023, in St. Petersburg.
"Essentially just everything going exactly the way that we want to," Lowe said, via MLB.com."This is incredible baseball that we’re playing, and we hope to keep it up." Rasmussen allowed his only runner on Ramon Laureano’s two-out double in the second inning. He’s given up three hits over 13 scoreless innings. He added eight strikeouts to his total. Manager Kevin Cash said Rasmussen"set the tone" for the game.
"It just opens things up. You have the opportunity to fill up the strike zone a little bit more, a little bit faster," Rasmussen added."The way they’re going right now is unbelievable. I can’t say enough good things."
