Game Summary
Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Athletics 4-3. The Rays jumped on Oakland early with a four-run first two innings — Jonny DeLuca’s RBI double and Chandler Simpson’s follow-up double chased a pair of runs, and back-to-back doubles in the second pushed the lead to 4-0 — and that early cushion proved decisive. Nick Martinez worked five innings, allowing two runs on five hits while settling the game for Tampa Bay, and the bullpen followed with multiple scoreless outings (including 2.1 scoreless innings from Seth Johnson). Tommy White paced Oakland at the plate (3-for-4, solo homer) and Shea Langeliers’ sixth-inning RBI single cut the deficit to one, but Oakland could not overcome the early hole. Brady Basso took the loss.
