HOUSTON -- Tampa Bay rookie Blake Snell struggled to throw strikes in his last three outings, piling up 13 walks over that span.He didnt walk a batter Saturday night, but not much else went right for the 23-year-old in a 6-2 loss to the Houston Astros.Snell allowed a season-high nine hits and five runs -- four earned -- in three-plus innings for his third loss in four starts. He exited with a bruise on his lower left leg after being hit by a sharp grounder from Marwin Gonzalez to start the fourth.The performance ended his streak of nine straight starts of allowing two earned runs or fewer. The streak was a franchise record for a rookie.I was thinking differently than what they were thinking, Snell said.

He entered 0-4 in six starts against them.Gurriel had two doubles for Houston and collected the first two RBI of his career. It was the fifth game for Gurriel, who played in Cuba for 15 seasons before signing with the Astros in July.Bobby Wilson hit a two-run homer in the fifth inning for the Rays, and Tim Beckham had three hits.George Springer singled to start Houstons third and scored on Bregmans homer.Bregmans single in the fourth inning pushed the lead to 5-0.Corey Dickerson singled with no outs in the fifth before Wilsons home run, which smashed off the wall above the seats in left field and cut the lead to 5-2.The Rays didnt take advantage of a scoring opportunity in the sixth. Beckham singled with one out but was caught in a rundown when he tried to go to third on a single by Mikie Mahtook. Keuchel then struck out Steven Souza Jr. to end the threat.It was the second straight game in which the Rays had a key baserunning error.Its definitely showing up too much, and ultimately thats on me, Cash said. We have to find a way to impact these guys better so that we are not making those mistakes.Gurriels second RBI double made it 6-2 in the seventh inning.TRAINERS ROOMRays: RHP Alex Cobb (Tommy John surgery) allowed five hits and one run in four innings for Triple-A Durham in his eighth rehabilitation start on Saturday night.

"We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets might go with rotating right tackles in their regular-season opener -- and maybe beyond.Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that both Ben Ijalana (EYE-juh-LAH-nuh) and Brent Qvale (KWAH-lee) could play the position against Cincinnati on Sunday.Until it sorts itself out, yes, Bowles said. Its possible.The two offensive linemen are competing for the spot, which is open because starter Breno Giacomini is out for out least the next six weeks while on the physically unable to perform list with a back injury.Giacomini missed all of training camp with the injury, but neither Ijalana nor Qvale established himself as the clear-cut replacement.Still, the Jets didnt put in any claims on the waiver wire over the weekend as teams made final cuts.Ive been in this league for 16, 17 years, Bowles said. Right tackles dont fall off trees. Youre not going to claim a starting right tackle in this league. Theyre like quarterbacks.Ijalana has played in seven games in five NFL seasons, mostly on special teams while also serving as a backup left tackle. DBrickashaw Ferguson was the Jets starting left tackle the last 10 years before retiring during the offseason, and he never missed a game or practice in his career -- which left Ijalana with no opportunities for playing time on the offensive line.The 27-year-old Ijalana was re-signed by the Jets in April and moved over to right tackle during offseason workouts. He was comfortable at the new spot by the time New York played its first preseason game last month.I felt like I had a strong camp, Ijalana said. I was pleased I was able to manage the transition from left to right tackle.Qvale is entering his second full season and has started one game, lining up as a jumbo tight end.Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was undeterred by the suggestion that a rotation at right tackle could impact the continuity of the offensive line.Weve got to put five linemen out there, so whatever five theyre going to bee, were going to trust theyre going to be the right ones, Fitzpatrick said.ddddddddddddBoth of those guys have been working really hard and have done a good job. Well see how it ends up going, but thats not anything that is of concern to me.Ijalana said Giacomini has helped him with perfecting techniques and pointed out some tips as he continues to learn the position.Im just happy to be in the race, he said.Game notes The Jets public relations department made a clerical error Sunday when it announced former Stony Brook LB Victor Ochi had been signed to the practice squad. Ochi, who was waived by Baltimore without an injury designation, visited the Jets, but did not sign with the team after not passing his physical. He injured a shoulder in the Ravens preseason finale and is expected to be out 1-2 weeks. The Jets still plan to sign Ochi to their practice squad when he is healthy. ... WRs Brandon Marshall (hips) and Quincy Enunwa (concussion) practiced and will be ready for the season opener. Bowles wouldnt say if he was optimistic about the status of LB David Harris (shoulder). Ive got to see him hit somebody, he said. Its still early in the week. ... Jalin Marshall, one of three rookie WRs to make the Jets roster, will serve as the teams primary returner Sunday. ... Bowles on the Jets keeping four QBs with Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith, Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg: They all can play and were trying to keep the best football players. Each of them showed enough in the preseason. (Well) give (Hackenberg) a redshirt year and the other three can play. ... The Jets currently have Kellen Davis, Brandon Bostick, Braedon Bowman and Eric Parker at TE, but Bowles said its too early to tell whether theyll keep all four. Probably not, he said. But well see what happens.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
