CLEVELAND — Zack Littell shut down Cleveland for six innings and rookie Logan Driscoll hit his first career homer, sending the Tampa Bay Rays to a 3-1 win over the AL Central-leading Guardians. Littell allowed just two hits in his second straight strong start. He blanked Baltimore for five innings last week. He's 4-0 in his career against the Guardians. Littell's performance followed Tampa Bay's bullpen shutting out Cleveland over the final seven innings Thursday. Driscoll connected in the third and Jonathan Aranda homered in the fourth for Tampa Bay. The Guardians got just four hits and had their division lead reduced to three games over Kansas City.
