Snell Lays Hammer Down in 2-0 Win
The Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs put on a pitchers' duel.

Blake Snell never let the Cubs get in a groove. The left-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Rays to a win, 2-0. The win puts Tampa Bay at 46-45 this season.

Snell was in the zone all game. He frustrated Chicago hitters while giving the Rays 8 innings of quality work. Snell threw 107 pitches, allowing 3 hits and getting 12 punchouts.

"There was no wiggle room in this one," said Snell.
