Bad day all around — A’s lose 11-0 again, are swept by Rays and Seth Brown is going on the injured list.
The Athletics were face to face with the team they want to be when they grow up and learned that making up the difference could take longer than anyone imagined.
Tampa Bay improved to 9-0, a season-opening streak that is unprecedented in that the Rays have won every game by four or more runs and have a run differential of plus-57. The news got worse for the A’s when it was learned outfielder Seth Brown sustained an oblique injury and be placed on the injured list, according to MLB.com.
The Athletics were at least spared the indignity of a no-hitter, thanks to Ramon Laureano’s off-field double to right in the second inning. They wouldn’t get another one, with Drew Rasmussen pitching seven innings of shutout ball and relievers Ryan Thompson and Jason Adam finishing up.

Ramirez, however, got a good jump toward second base. Shortstop Aledmys Diaz fielded the ball cleanly but his lob toss to Tony Kemp at second was too late to get Ramirez. It went as a fielders choice, loading the bases.
