Baseball: Former Tampa Bay bat boy beats old team

Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Former Tampa Bay bat boy Jesse Litsch threw 6 2/3 shutout innings against his old team, leading the Toronto Blue Jays past the Devil Rays 2-0 today.

Litsch (4-4), a Devil Rays bat boy from 2000-02, gave up seven hits in his first pro start at Tropicana Field. The right-hander, who has allowed one earned run or less in four of five starts since being recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on June 28, struck two and walked one.
