ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Shane McClanahan turned in five scoreless innings to get his first win at Tropicana Field in nearly three years as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins 6-1 on Saturday.

The left-hander, returning from two surgeries that cost him the 2024 and 2025 seasons, scattered three hits and struck out seven.

Kevin Kelly, Hunter Bigge and Trevor Martin finishing up for McClanahan (2-2).

Jake Fraley provided the early run support, connecting for a two-run home run in the fourth inning, his second of the season. The Rays added four more runs late, capped by a Ben Williamson RBI double in the eighth.

Williamson finished with a single, double and triple.

Bailey Ober (2-1) was solid for Minnesota, allowing two runs on three hits over six innings, but it was not enough against a dominant Rays offense that has won six straight games when out-homering its opponent.

The win was the third straight for the Rays, who are 3-1 against Minnesota in the season series. The Twins have lost four straight and eight of their last nine.

McClanahan had not won at Tropicana Field since June 11, 2023.

His elbow gave out that August, requiring his second Tommy John surgery. A nerve issue during rehabilitation required additional surgery, wiping out the following two seasons entirely. He took a no-decision April 6 against the Cubs in his only other home appearance this season.

The Twins will send Simeon Woods Richardson (0-3, 5.96) to the mound Sunday while Tampa Bay counters with Jesse Scholtens (1-1, 2.93 ERA).

CHICAGO (AP) — A police officer died and another was critically injured after a man in police custody and receiving treatment at a Chicago hospital opened fire on them Saturday, according to officials.

"Officers transported an individual over to the Swedish hospital for an observation, at which time two of our officers were shot," Chicago police Superintendent Larry Snelling said at a news conference in the afternoon. "One was shot critically. It (the death) was pronounced. The second officer right now is fighting for his life in the hospital behind us.”

The officer remained in critical condition Saturday evening, authorities said in a statement.

The suspect, who was not publicly identified, fled the Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital after the shooting at around 10:50 a.m. He was later detained and a gun was recovered, police said.

The hospital said its campus was placed on lockdown, and patients and staff at the health facility were safe.

“Today is a real difficult moment for our city. It’s a tragedy,” Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said at the news conference. The city is providing mental health support services to police officers so they can do their jobs, he said.

Snelling said there is an ongoing investigation, and he could not provide details. But the hospital said in a Facebook posting that an individual in custody of law enforcement was brought to the emergency department for treatment and was “wanded upon arrival,” following the protocols. He was escorted by law enforcement at all times, the hospital said.

It said that the man later fired shots at the law enforcement officers and exited the hospital building. He was later apprehended.

“Those officers were there as transport officers,” Snelling said, referring to the police officer who died and the one who was injured. A weapon was recovered, he said.

He noted that the names of the officers were not released because they want to be sure that their families have been notified. One of them was a 38-year-old officer who had been working for 10 years in the department. The other is a 57-year-old officer with 21 years of service, Snelling said.
