Rookie Josh Fleming spun six scoreless innings as the Tampa Bay Rays put an end to Philadelphia’s playoff hopes Sunday, finishing their three-game sweep of the Phillies with a 5-0 victory in St. Petersburg, Fla.In a career-long start, Fleming recorded five strikeouts and allowed four hits and a walk. Relievers Oliver Drake, Aaron Loup and Ryan Sherriff each tossed a scoreless frame in the six-hit shutout for Tampa Bay, which finished the regular season by winning nine of its last 11 games.

The Rays finished 40-20 -- the best 60-game stretch in club history -- and posted a franchise-high .667 winning percentage in the truncated season, shattering their previous best of .599 in 2008. In a must-win situation for Philadelphia , right-hander Aaron Nola turned in a poor start by working just 3 2/3 innings and allowing six hits and three runs in his second-shortest stint this season. Bryce Harper produced two hits.

The Rays got a run in the second using three hits -- the most unlikely coming from Smith. The No. 3 catcher pinch hit for Brett Phillips, who left with a leg injury, and Smith rapped a two-strike single to left to score Joey Wendle.

Reconsidering ComeyThe story was always about the relationship between a man and an institution. Nah, it’s about the relationship between a man and his confused self. Chills watching Comey’s treatment of Hillary “will go down as probably the lowest moment in the history of the FBI, probably next to the decision of J.
