Rays 0, Astros 5: Rays drop their first home game of 2023

If you held out hope until the very last out that the Rays were going somehow mount a six run comeback to walk-off their 3rd game of the year, I wouldn't blame you... I did. It would have marked their 15th consecutive home victory to begin the year and their 21st win in their first 24th game. However, Luis Garcia had other plans, tossing six shutout innings and keeping the Rays’ bats as silent as they have been all year.

Drew Rasmussen made his fifth start of the year in search of his fourth win. Instead, he departed in the fifth inning having surrendered five runs on four doubles and a pair of singles.
