Rasmussen, Fortes, Baker Power the AL-Leading Rays to a 1-0 Win over the White Sox

On Saturday in Petersburg, Fla., the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Chicago White Sox 1-0. Drew Rasmussen struck out 10 in six innings, while Nick Fortes drove in the game's only run.
Five Tampa Bay pitchers combined to strike out 16 batters, securing the team's ninth shutout victory this season. Saturday marked the Rays' third 1-0 win of the year and second in the past week.
The Rays broke a scoreless tie in the fifth inning when Jonny DeLuca led off with a single. DeLuca stole second and advanced to third before Fortes drove him home with a line drive.
Converting his 20th consecutive opportunity, Bryan Baker recorded his American League-leading 31st save. Baker retired Chicago's third, fourth, and fifth hitters in the ninth to secure the win.
Chicago saw its three-game winning streak halted in Saturday's contest; Rays RHP Griffin Jax is scheduled to face Chicago LHP Anthony Kay in the series finale on Sunday.
