The Rays hadn’t had that feeling in a while, and it didn’t look like that would change early Sunday. The Rays did not get a runner on base until the sixth inning, as former Tampa Bay pitcher Michael Wacha retired the first 15 batters he faced. Jose Caballero broke up the perfect-game bid when he led off the sixth with a scorched ground ball that got past third baseman Maikel Garcia for a double. “It’s amazing,” said Richie Palacios, who made his first big-league appearance at shortstop in the eighth inning. Garrett Cleavinger, Kevin Kelly and Pete Fairbanks (despite loading the bases) each pitched a scoreless inning to close out the win.
