Rasmussen, Rays relievers remove Royals rallies in 3-0 romp

The Kansas City Royals saw their offensive struggles continue as they were shutout by Drew Rasmussen and four Tampa Bay Rays relievers in a 3-0 loss at Kauffman Stadium tonight.

Both teams broke up the no-hitter in the first inning but lost their respective baserunners — Yandy Díaz made an ill-fated attempt to advance to second on a wild pitch, while Maikel Garcia attempted to steal immediately after being bonked on the head by a pickoff throw and was gunned down on an absolutely perfect throw by Danny Jansen.

Tampa Bay drew first blood in the second.
