Oakland Athletics (6-5) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 0
Tampa Bay Rays (5-6) 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 X 2 7 1
Rays 2-0 Winners Over Oakland
The Tampa Bay Rays rode a solid performance from 30-year-old starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin to a win, beating the Oakland Athletics, 2-0, at Tropicana Field. The winner was Tampa Bay reliever Ethan Small, now 1-0. The loser was Michael King. Yennier Cano picked up his 4th save of the season.

Had George Springer not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Springer hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 1-0, in favor of the Rays.

Gonsolin told a Tampa Bay Bulletin reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.

With the loss, Oakland is 6-5.
