ARLINGTON -- Blake Snell threw five scoreless innings to earn his Major League-leading 20th win of the season, as Snell and three Rays relievers combined to shut out the Rangers, 4-0, Tuesday night at Globe Life Park. The series-clinching victory was the Rays' 13th win in their last 16 games, and they are 35-19 since the All-Star break. Tampa Bay is 8-0-1 in its last nine series, as it makes a strong playoff push.
Snell becomes just the second Rays' pitcher to reach the 20-win plateau. David Price did it in 2012, but his 20th win came in his 31st start that season.
