May 17, 2025; Miami, Florida, USA; Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen (57) pitches against the Miami Marlins during the first inning at loanDepot Park. Mandatory Credit: Rhona Wise-Imagn Images Drew Rasmussen pitched six scoreless innings, and Yandy Diaz stroked a two-run single as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the host Miami Marlins 4-0 on Saturday afternoon.
Since July of 2018, the Rays are 25-6 against the Marlins in what is unofficially known as the Citrus Bowl baseball series.
With Saturday’s win, the Rays are 10-3 over their past 13 overall road games.
Rasmussen (2-4) allowed just four hits and no walks, striking out five.
Diaz had two of Tampa Bay’s 10 hits and one of the Rays’ four stolen bases.
Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara — the 2022 National League Cy Young Award-winner — lost his sixth straight start, a first in his stellar career.
Alcantara (2-6) lasted five innings, allowing five hits, two walks and four runs.
The Marlins played their second straight game without starting shortstop and leadoff batter Xavier Edwards (back tightness).
Miami had a pair of two-out singles in the first inning before Rasmussen struck out Eric Wagaman.
Tampa Bay opened the scoring in the fifth inning on a rally that started with Jose Caballero’s infield single. He then stole second and third, scoring on Chandler Simpson’s RBI single. Diaz then added his two-run single.
The rally ended when Jonathan Aranda ended his 0-for-13 slump with a broken-bat RBI single. Aranda was left with half a bat … and the RBI.
In the top of the ninth, Brandon Lowe singled, but Marlins center fielder Derek Hill threw Simpson out at the plate. Simpson left the game due to an unspecified injury.
On Sunday, the Rays will try for their third straight series win after taking two of three from Milwaukee and then Toronto.
Two right-handers will start on Sunday. Shane Baz (3-2, 5.02 ERA) will start for Tampa Bay. Cal Quantrill (2-4, 7.00 ERA) will start for Miami.
Quantrill is 1-0 with a 2.31 ERA in four career starts/appearances against Tampa Bay.
Baz is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA in his one career start/appearance against Miami.

Coach Prime’s Favorite? Deion Sanders forgets about Shedeur, Shilo, Deion Jr. and calls Travis Hunter his ‘son’
Deion Sanders has been a crucial part of Travis Hunter's collegiate career and the love Coach Prime has shown for him might make Hunter his favorite player he's ever coached. In the last season, Hunter delivered a historic performance, recording 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns on offense. Defensively, he recorded 32 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and 4 interceptions, showcasing his exceptional two-way capabilities. His outstanding performance earned him the Heisman Trophy, making him, clearly, a favorite of Coach Prime. Travis was the No. 1 rated recruit in the country and made the unprecedented decision to snub offers from blue-chip programs in favor of an HBCU. Deion Sanders lured him to Jackson State, creating a relationship that transcends the typical player-coach dynamic. Hunter trusted Sanders to guide his career and followed him to Colorado. After winning the Heisman […]

José Alvarado suspension: Nine trade candidates Phillies could target to replace closer after PED violation
Imagn Images The Philadelphia Phillies will be without one of their best relievers for most of the regular season and all of the playoffs. On Sunday, MLB announced that veteran left-hander José Alvarado had been suspended for 80 games after he failed a performance-enhancing drug test. (MLB's statement on the matter says he tested positive for exogenous testosterone.)Alvarado, soon to turn 30, had pitched to a 2.70 ERA (159 ERA+) and a 6.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 20 appearances. He had saved seven games, including in his most recent appearance against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. For his career, he's in possession of a 123 ERA+.Even with Alvarado, the Phillies' bullpen ranked 24th in the majors in ERA. Without him, it's fair to assume that executives Dave Dombrowski and Sam Fuld will get to work on identifying who, precisely, they can […]
