Paxton Sensational for Rays
James Paxton was in top form in a low-scoring contest between Tampa Bay and Oakland. The Rays left-hander helped his team beat the Athletics, 3-1. Trevor Oaks picked up the save for Tampa Bay, his 1st of the year. At 14-20, the Rays find themselves in 4th place in the American League East Division.

Paxton worked his mojo for Tampa Bay. The hard-throwing left-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits over 7.1 innings of work.

"I liked his command," said Tampa Bay manager TJ Barnaba. "James was throwing strikes."
