Tampa Bay Rays Waste Zack Littell Start originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Tampa Bay Rays got some good news on Sunday with starter Zack Littell looking awesome through five innings of work.

Riley Greene had three hits and Wenceel Pérez and Parker Meadows each homered and drove in three runs and Detroit snapped a three-game losing streak with a 9-3 win at Tampa Bay at Steinbrenner Field.

Brant Hurter allowed four runs in the first inning, all unearned, after Jake Rogers let a passed ball by him on a key strike 3.
