Saturday night provided a good old-fashioned baseball game backed by strong starting pitching performances and some timely patience at the plate.
The Tampa Bay Rays entered Saturday three games under .500 on the year and finished the night only two games under. Zach Littell got the start for the Rays opposite Christian Scott, who made his Major League debut.
Littell, donning the City Connect uniforms delivered a typical Littell start, going six strong innings, allowing only one run, and striking out seven. The righty walked none. With the strong outing, his season ERA was lowered to 3.
