The left-hander allows two short-porch home runs to Yandy Diaz in his first start since April 2 as the Dodgers manage just six hits in a 4-0 loss in Tampa.

First batter of the game facing the former Rays Cy Young winner, Blake Snell, Yandy Diaz took full advantage of the dimensions of Steinbrenner Field and short porch’d Snell for a HR to RF for a quick 1-0 lead.

Two home runs by Yandy Diaz, a strong start by Drew Rasmussen and some quality relief work adds up to a much-needed win.
