Yandy Diaz hits 2 home runs off Blake Snell as Rays beat Dodgers 3-0
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Yandy Diaz hit two home runs off Blake Snell, Drew Rasmussen threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 on Saturday. In front of a sold-out crowd of 10,046, Diaz opened the scoring in the first with a 326-foot shot off his former teammate Snell, who was making his first major league start since April 2. Diaz hit a two-run homer in the third inning for his 20th of the season. He also singled off Snell in the fifth with a line drive to center. Rasmussen (9–5) struck out six and scattering four hits, all singles. The Dodgers never got a runner to second base against him. They threatened with the bases loaded against Garrett Cleavinger in the sixth, but he got an inning-ending double play to hold the lead. Snell (1–1) was charged with three runs on five hits. He was activated off the injured list Saturday morning and struck out eight in just his third start for the Dodgers since signing a $182 million deal this winter. Junior Caminero added insurance in the sixth with his 27th home run of the season, a solo shot off Jack Dreyer. Key moment With one out and a runner on in the top of the sixth, Cleavinger gave up back-to-back singles to Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani, before he got Teoscar Hernandez to bounce into the inning-ending double play. Key stat Diaz's leadoff home run in the first inning marked the 900th hit of his career. Up next The Dodgers will send right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (9–7, 2.63 ERA) to the mound for the series finale Sunday. Joe Boyle (1–1, 2.82) starts for the Rays in their final home game before a 14-day road trip. ___ AP MLB:

Rays Get 3 Homers, Strong Start From Pepiot To Avoid Sweep With 6-5 Win Over Athletics
Josh Lowe, Yandy Díaz, and rookie Jake Mangum homered, Ryan Pepiot posted a quality start, and Tampa Bay avoided a three-game sweep with a 6–5 win over the Athletics on Wednesday afternoon. Trailing 2–1 entering the bottom of the sixth, the Rays batted around and scored five runs. Lowe's leadoff shot tied the contest, Brandon Lowe followed with a double to extend his major-league-leading hitting streak to 18 games, and Díaz put Tampa Bay ahead with a two-run homer. Pepiot (6–6) pitched six innings, allowing four hits and two runs – on Brent Rooker and Max Schuemann solo homers – walking three with nine strikeouts. He fanned five of his last six batters. Mangum got the Rays on the board with an inside-the-park homer, crushing a slider to the deepest part of the park just out of reach of center fielder Denzel Clarke. The first such homer by a Rays player in two years, it was the 24th in franchise history. Max Muncy also homered for the As, which got three hits from Schuemann. Second baseman Luis Urías departed in the sixth with right hamstring tightness. Key moment Down 6–2 entering the ninth, the As quickly scored three runs. With Rays closer Pete Fairbanks unavailable after pitching the last two days, Edwin Uceta loaded the bases with one out, then fanned Rooker and Nick Kurtz to end the game for his first save of the season. Key stat Rays pitchers recorded a season-best 17 strikeouts one day after fanning 15 Athletics on Tuesday night. Up next The As return home to face the Giants on Friday, starting LHP JP Sears (6–7, 5.09). San Francisco is undecided on its starter. Tampa Bay begins a 10-game road trip at Minnesota on Friday with RHP Zack Littell (7–7, 3.61 ERA) on the mound. The Twins have yet to announce a starter.
