Despite short start, Rays believe in Snell's potential

NEW YORK -- The game went on and on, which only gave Blake Snell more time to think about how much better he needs to get.

The Rays and Yankees waited through three rain delays and played past midnight ET, but Snell was gone from the Rays' 7-5 Friday night loss before the rain even began. The young left-hander was out in the third inning, knocked out early for the fourth time in his past six starts because his pitch count kept rising and the out total didn't.

"It's been the same story," Snell said.
