ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It took eight games for Brandon Lowe to drive in his first runs of the season. Now, like the Rays, the second baseman is rolling.
Lowe hammered a grand slam Sunday and drove in five runs on the day as the Rays beat the A’s 11-0 and ran their winning streak to nine games in front of 11,159 fans at Tropicana Field.
The Rays are the only remaining undefeated team in Major League Baseball. The 9-0 start is the first in MLB since the 2003 Royals. They have done it definitively, too, winning each game by at least four runs.
