Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Blake Snell lost his no-hit bid Monday night when the Washington Nationals‘ Anthony Rendon led off the seventh inning with a double off the left-field wall.
The 25-year-old Snell walked Trea Turner and Bryce Harper to open the game but retired 18 straight until Rendon’s line drive. Snell had struck out 10 and thrown 80 pitches through six innings.
Center fielder Kevin Kiermaier made a nice running catch on Turner’s drive in the sixth http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/dru-samia-jersey , and second baseman Willy Adames then dived for Harper’s grounder and threw him out to end the inning.
Snell pitched seven innings of one-run ball in a 2-1 victory over Justin Verlander and the Astros last time out, though he walked a season-high seven.
The Rays led 10-0, keyed by Kiermaier’s grand slam in a six-run second.

The sports world is filled with many stories of “one-hit wonders Daniel Jones Jersey ,” individuals who either had one good season or one monumental moment on a big stage before eventually fading into oblivion over time. Somewhat ironically, because of when this piece is being produced, not every individual who experiences only a single good season before losing momentum and the favor of fans disappears forever. Nick Foles enjoyed success with the Philadelphia Eagles Quincy Williams II Jersey , ultimately lost his gig with that team, became a backup with the Eagles during a second stint with the club and then helped Philly win a first Super Bowl in franchise history. He earned MVP honors for his play on that evening. For every tale such as that attached to Foles’ name, there have been numerous NFL players who had one good season and then became “whatever happened to those guys?” stories. The list begins with an individual who is still in the NFL as of the middle of August 2018 Ryquell Armstead Jersey , a person who unquestionably possessed Hall of Fame talent in his prime but who has battled demons and personal issues for many years. Nobody, maybe not even the player himself, knows what he will be able to achieve if he can make a return from football oblivion and become a mainstay in a lineup. It’s possible that playing the sport at such a high level is not what is best for him.
