Rays 4, Marlins 0: Flappy Boys Fry the Fish

Drew Rasmussen was dazzling, striking out five and surrendering four hits over a season-high six innings of work.

All of the Rays’ runs came in the fifth inning, and by way of the single.

Chandler Simpson singled to drive in Jose Caballero, Yandy Diaz drove in Danny Jansen and Simpson with a single, and Jonathan Aranda drove in Brandon Lowe with a single of his own.

Scoreless innings from the bridge to Peter Fairbanks included Edwin Uceta and Garrett Cleavinger.

In the top of the ninth, Simpson was banged up on a head-first slide appearing to scrape his chin and lip on the loanDepot Park clay at home plate.
