ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Time will tell which loss on Tuesday night was greater for the Rays.
Their top starter, Shane McClanahan, leaving the game in the fifth inning after flexing his previously injured left shoulder.
Or their second straight loss to the American League-best Astros, the 5-0 final making for their first back-to-back shutouts in more than five years, and a 20-inning scoreless streak for Tampa Bay’s once productive hitters.
