Tampa Bay went only one for 14 with runners on base, an old habit. The Rays are 8-9 since the all-star break, and they’re hitting only .141 with nine hits in 64 at bats in the losses.

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Matt Moore kept his place in the Tampa Bay Rays’ pitching rotation. Matt Andriese did not. Moore threw his best game of the season, shutting down the Houston Astros on two hits in a 5-0 victory.
