MIAMI (AP) — Rays veteran Ryan Yarbrough and top Marlins prospect Sixto Sanchez matched zeroes into the seventh inning Friday night, with one difference.“He was throwing 100, and I wasn’t,” Yarbrough said. “A nice little contrast there.”There was also a contrast in bullpen performances. Yarbrough and two relievers combined on a five-hitter, and AL East leader Tampa Bay won its third game in a row by scratching out runs in the eighth and ninth to beat Miami 2-0. The 22-year-old Sanchez struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings in his second major league start, but the Rays broke through in the eighth when Yandy Diaz delivered a two-out RBI single. Michael Perez, a late addition to the Rays lineup, added a two-out run-scoring single in the ninth.Both teams were back on the field to start the series on Jackie Robinson Day after declining to play games Thursday in protest against racial injustice.The crafty Yarbrough threw mostly in the 80s, but blanked Miami for 6 2/3 innings before leaving...

Michael Perez, a late addition to the Rays lineup, added a two-out RBI single in the ninth.Both teams were back on the field to start the series on Jackie Robinson Day after declining to play games Thursday in protest against racial injustice.Yarbrough pitched 6 2/3 innings before leaving the game with a tight left groin. The left-hander lowered his ERA to 3.65 but remained winless in his past 15 starts, including seven this year.Pete Fairbanks (4-1) didn't allow a hit in 1 1/3 innings, and Diego Castillo pitched around a two-out double and a walk in the ninth for his second save.
