ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay Rays ace Shane McClanahan left Thursday night against the Kansas City Royals because of mid-back tightness. Soon after reliever Kevin Kelly started warming up in the bullpen, Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash and a trainer went to the mound with two outs in the fourth and the game tied at 2. After a discussion, McClanahan left the field. The left-hander (11-1) was looking to become the majors first 12-winner. He allowed two runs, four hits and walked two during a 66-pitch outing.
