MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Run scoring has come at an enormous premium for the Miami Marlins this season.
Seven pitchers combined on a seven-hitter for Tampa Bay, and the Rays shut out Miami for the second straight game, 1-0 on Wednesday night.
The Marlins (10-31) lost their seventh consecutive game and are on pace for 122 losses.
Tampa Bay’s run scored in the second inning when catcher Anthony Bemboom, called up from the minors last week, doubled for his first major league hit and RBI. The AL East leaders improved to 2-7 in one-run games, and they’re 14-5 on the road, best in the majors.
