ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — If American League/Astros manager Dusty Baker or Major League Baseball officials somehow need any more convincing that Shane McClanahan deserves to start next week’s All-Star Game, he gave it to them Wednesday.
McClanahan was dominant yet again, holding the Red Sox to one run and three hits over 6 1/3 innings in the Rays’ 4-1 win.
He did what he has done pretty much all season: mix his four above-average pitches, throw strikes, limit damage and put the Rays in position to win.
