In a recent game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Rays fell short of achieving a combined no-hitter when Arizona's Corbin Carroll broke the streak with a leadoff single against Tyler Alexander in the seventh inning.
Carroll managed to hit a shallow ball to left field, narrowly escaping a bare-handed catch attempt by shortstop Taylor Walls. Following Carroll's hit, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. added to the Diamondbacks' momentum with another base hit.
The Rays' pitching performance was highlighted by Drew Rasmussen, who struck out two batters during his two perfect innings as the opener for Tampa Bay. Alexander, who allowed only one baserunner before the seventh inning, gave up a leadoff walk to Geraldo Perdomo in the fourth.
Noteworthy defensive plays included Walls throwing out Gurriel on a first-inning grounder that was deflected by a diving Junior Caminero at third base.
Despite the setback of losing the no-hitter bid, the Rays maintained a solid lead with a score of 6-1.
