Remember all the chatter about the Tampa Bay Rays‘ hot offense?
Remember the talk about hitting streaks and home runs and hot hitters?
Arizona’s Zack Greinke put a stop to all of that Tuesday night, shutting out the Rays in a 5-0 game. Greinke allowed only three hits, and he never allowed a Rays’ batter as far as second base.
The Diamondbacks got all the runs they would need on a three-run homer by Jake Lamb and a two-run shot by Paul Goldschmidt.
Matt Moore took the loss for Tampa Bay, allowing five earned runs in seven innings.
โThe stuff coming out of his hand was as good as any game he’s had,โ Rays manager Kevin Cash said. โI thought it was a good outing and something we can build on.
โWe just got beat by a really good pitcher. He was on, changing speeds and hitting spots. The guy was just on. You tip your cap a little bit.โ
The Rays conclude their series against Arizona today when Jake Odorizzi pitches against Archie Bradley.
