Rays beat Marlins, inch closer to Sox

MIAMI (AP) - Matt Garza pitched a one-hitter, allowing only Hanley Ramirez's home run leading off the seventh inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Florida Marlins 6-1 Thursday to complete a three-game sweep.

Garza (6-4) struck out 10 and walked one in his first complete game in 38 major league starts. He faced the minimum 18 batters through six innings on a humid afternoon in Miami, where weekday day games are unusual.

Evan Longoria homered and drove in three runs for the Devil Rays, who swept their Sunshine State rival for just the second time.
