Rays show superiority in 11-3 blowout win over Royals

Royals pitchers combined to give up 17 hits in an 11-3 loss to the Rays on Friday night.

Nick Pratto got the game started with a bang, smacking a line drive over the right field fence for his fifth home run of the season. But Zack Greinke gave up the lead and then some in the bottom of the second when he gave up a three-run home run to Jose Siri to make it 3-1 Rays.

After a Bobby Witt Jr. walk in the third - his eighth in his last 11 games - Salvador Perez tied it up with his 15th home run of the year.
