ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Jeffrey Sorings has a no-hit bid through six innings Sunday against the Detroit Tigers.
Springs has 12 strikeouts, which broke his previous career-high of nine set last June 23 against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Detrot has had just one runner: Nick Maton drew a two-out walk in the second.
Springs signed a $31 million, four-year contract during the offseason after moving from the bullpen to the rotation in 2022. He was 9-5 with a 2.46 ERA last season in 25 starts and eight relief appearances.
Springs matched his career high of six innings. He has thrown 58 of 81 pitches for strikes.
The Rays lead 1-0.
