The Tampa Bay Rays (68-46) defeated the Colorado Rockies (45-70) 4-0 on Wednesday afternoon in Denver. With the win, the Rays have swept the three-game interleague series and are now 22 games above .500 on the season.

The Rays got two runs in the first inning thanks to RBI singles from Jonathan Aranda and Chandler Simpson. Junior Caminero hit his 33rd home run of the season in the third inning to make it 3-0, before Victor Mesa Jr hit a sacrifice bunt in the seventh inning to make it 4-0.

Nick Martinez (11-3, 2.85) pitched five and two-third shutout innings in which he allowed six hit while striking out four and walking none. A bullpen combination of Tyler Wells, Garrett Cleavinger and Cam Booser did not allow a hit en route to completing the shutout.

The Rays are now off on Thursday before going to Seattle to take on the Mariners for a three-game weekend series beginning on Friday night. Drew Rasmussen (10-5, 2.91) is scheduled to start the opening game on Friday. First pitch Friday night is scheduled for 10:10 PM – Chris Adams-Wall begins pregame coverage at 9:30 PM on 95.7 WDAE & AM 620, your Home of Rays Baseball.
