ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Tampa Bay’s Drew Rasmussen and Tyler Alexander have a combined no-hitter through six innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Rasmussen struck out two during two perfect innings as the opener. Alexander has allowed one baserunner, issuing a leadoff walk to Geraldo Perdomo in the fourth. The left-hander has five strikeouts.
Arizona’s Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was thrown out by shortstop Taylor Walls on a first-inning grounder that was deflected by a diving Junior Caminero at third base.
Walls also made a nifty grab on a tough one-hopper by Randal Grichuk in the fifth.
The Rays lead 5-0.
