Jonathan Aranda's walk-off single gives Rays 2-1 win over Giants for 3-game
sweep
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) --- Jonathan Aranda hit a game-ending single in the
10th inning to cap a 4-for-5 afternoon, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the San
Francisco Giants 2-1 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.
After Junior Caminero was intentionally walked leading off the 10th, Aranda
blooped an 0-1 fastball from Caleb Kilian (1-1) into short right-center to
score automatic runner Chandler Simpson from second, giving Tampa Bay its ninth
win in 10 games and sending San Francisco to its sixth straight loss.
The Rays tied it at 1-1 in the eighth on a safety squeeze by Ryan Vilade, who
guided his bunt down the first-base line. Caminero slid in ahead of the throw
from first baseman Rafael Devers.
The Giants went ahead in the first when Devers doubled and to left and scored
on a single from Casey Schmitt. San Francisco scored just two runs during the
series at Tropicana Field and was 1 for 11 with runners in scoring position
Sunday.
Tampa Bay's Ian Seymour (1-0) pitched a perfect 10th. Rays starter Steven Matz
went six innings, allowing a run on four hits. He walked two and struck out
one. Hunter Bigge and Bryan Baker followed with three scoreless innings,
helping the Rays record their fourth sweep of the season.
Tyler Mahle pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings for the Giants, and Luis Arraez had
two hits.
Up next
The Giants begin a six-game homestand Monday when they host San Diego. Neither
team has named a starter.
RHP Nick Martinez (2-1, 1.70 ERA) takes the mound Monday when the Rays begin a
series against visiting Toronto.
