Zack Littell allowed just one hit over seven innings as the Tampa Bay Rays claimed their three-game series with Boston on Thursday night, blanking the Red Sox 2-0 in a one-hit combined shutout in St. Petersburg, Fla.
In an economical 75-pitch outing, Littell (8-9) fanned seven without a walk in his 28th start.
The right-hander got plenty of soft contact from the visitors.
