Rays hope to start new shutout streak vs. Royals

Tampa Bay's shutout streak ended at 27 innings Tuesday night, tying the club record.

But the Rays' pitching staff continued its roll behind ace Blake Snell to win their second game over the Kansas City Royals at Tropicana Field.

Now, Tampa Bay sends Ryne Stanek to the mound against Kansas City's Jakob Kunis in the third game of the series Wednesday night.

Snell, winning his 15th game of the season to further become part of the Cy Young talk, gave up a run in the fifth inning, but struck out 11 through six as he lowered his ERA to 2.
