ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays extended Major League Baseball’s best start in 20 years behind Jeffrey Springs’ seven innings of three-hit ball and Randy Arozarena’s four RBIs, routing the Oakland Athletics 11-0 for an 8-0 record. Tampa Bay is the first big league team to open 8-0 since the 2003 Kansas City Royals won their first nine games.  The Rays have outscored opponents 64-18 and are the first team to win its first eight games by four or more runs since the 1884 St. Louis Maroons. Isaac Paredes and Brandon Lowe had three RBIs each for the Rays.
