Royals' Carter Jensen Homers Off Craig Kimbrel to Break up Rays' Combined No-Hitter in the Ninth
- On Thursday, the Tampa Bay Rays lost a combined no-hitter bid against the Kansas City Royals when Carter Jensen hit a two-run homer off Craig Kimbrel in the ninth inning.
- Opener Casey Legumina retired the first five batters through 1⅓ innings before Ian Seymour took over, with left fielder Chandler Simpson preserving the bid by tracking a fly ball near the foul pole in the fifth.
- Seymour struck out seven batters across his relief appearance, while Simpson also caught a hard line drive in the eighth to preserve the 13-0 lead entering the ninth.
- Kimbrel started the ninth and allowed a walk to Starling Marte before Jensen went deep with one out, ending the combined no-hit effort for Tampa Bay.
- The last time Kansas City was no-hit was May 19, 2008, against Boston's Jon Lester, while Tampa Bay has never thrown a perfect game in franchise history.
