Rays' Blake Snell: Fans 12 in victory

Snell (5-7) struck out 12 and allowed two runs on three hits over six innings in a win over Texas on Sunday.

Snell was desperate for a good outing after lasting just seven innings in his previous three starts combined. He got exactly what he needed Sunday. The 26-year-old lefty flattened the Rangers' lineup with Joey Gallo's two-run blast being the only significant damage he allowed. It was his first start with double-digit strikeouts since May 12 and he lowered his season ERA to 4.87 in the process. Snell will look to keep things rolling at home against the Yankees on Friday.
