Brendan McKay takes perfect game into the 6th inning, Tampa Bay Rays beat Texas Rangers 5-2

Brendan McKay made an amazing first impression. McKay took a perfect game into the sixth inning of his major league debut and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Texas Rangers 5-2 on Saturday. McKay (1-0), a two-way prospect taken fourth overall in the 2017 draft, didn’t allow a baserunner until Danny Santana flared an opposite-field single to right with one out in the sixth. The left-hander allowed one hit, a walk and struck out three in six innings. McKay said the best part of the day was “just getting to play baseball.”
