Coming off a deflating 3-2 loss in the ninth inning, the Tampa Bay Rays put up a dominant offensive performance to put the Tigers back in their place, picking up their 22nd win of the season.
Shane McClanahan had a masterful 7.0 inning performance on just 90 pitches, picking up seven strikeouts against zero walks.
Sugar Shane was challenging the Detroit hitters in the zone with his fastball while teasing on the edges with his off-speed or breaking stuff; everything was working right. It was the kind of outing the Rays need from their top starting pitcher.
