HOUSTON -- The Rays handed Dallas Keuchel his first loss in nearly a full calendar year, rolling through Houston's ace and the Astros' bullpen for a 3-0 win on Wednesday at Minute Maid Park.
In his second start since returning from the disabled list on July 28, Keuchel did not have his usual pinpoint-like command, allowing seven hits on 87 pitches in five innings.
Logan Morrison's two-run, two-out blast in the first inning supported Tampa Bay's fresh-faced starter, Austin Pruitt, who was recalled on July 28 to begin his third stint in the Majors this season.
