ST. PETERSBURG -- Blake Snell (Zilla) continued to build his American League Cy Young Award candidacy, as he led the Rays to a 9-1 win over the Red Sox and complete a three-game sweep on Sunday afternoon at Tropicana Field.
Tampa Bay has now won eight consecutive games, and 13 of its last 17, while moving to 70-61 on the season. The Rays had not swept Boston since May 23-25, 2014. In addition, the Rays became the first team to sweep the Sox since Baltimore did so on Aug. 25-27, 2017.
Snell did not allow a hit until Mookie Betts (Mookie) singled through the middle to start the fourth.
