Tampa Bay Rays off to best 6-game start in franchise history after win over Colorado Rockies

Blake Snell’s arm was on. Chris Iannetta’s foot was a little off. That was more than enough for the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night in a 4-0 win over the Colorado Rockies. Snell matched a career high with 13 strikeouts, pitching seven innings of two-hit ball to lift the Rays to their fifth straight win. The AL Cy Young Award winner struck out six straight during one stretch, helping Tampa Bay improve to a franchise-best 5-1. Snell (1-1) rebounded splendidly after allowing five runs in an opening day loss to Houston.
