Zack Littell Earns Win No. 4 on Monday
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Zack Littell improved to 4-5 on the season by holding the visiting Twins to just one run on three hits over 6 1/3 innings on Monday night. He didn't get any run support until the sixth inning when a three-run home run from Jonathan Aranda opened the scoring. Littell got one out in the seventh but departed after hitting Ty France with one out. The bullpen gave up a home run to Carlos Correa, allowing France to score for Littell's only run allowed. He only had four strikeouts, but he continues to be effective. He has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of his last six starts while going 4-0 with a 2.95 ERA and 4.46 FIP during that span. He has been especially sharp at home, but he'll be on the road for his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday in Houston. He faced the Astros last Tuesday, allowing two runs in five innings with six strikeouts in a no-decision.
