Rays 7, Royals 1
Jeff Niemann's 10 wins are the most by any Rays hurler this season. (Mike Carlson/AP)
By Zach Schonbrun / MLB.com
Jeff Niemann added to his earlier gem against the Royals with a one-run effort over eight innings. Jason Bartlett's triple led to three runs in the second inning, and Carl Crawford added a two-run homer as Tampa Bay walked away with a four-run eighth. Jeff Bennett fanned two in his Rays debut.
