Tampa Bay RaysMinnesota Twins
It seems like watching Rays baseball is all sunshine and rainbows when Tampa Bay isnât playing an NL Central opponent, right?
The Rays are 11-1 against teams not hailing from the Senior Circuit, and are 5-10 against teams that do. In fact, the Rays went 1-2 against the Reds, Cubs, Pirates, Cardinals, and Brewers.
Now, on to the fun stuff.
Griffin Jax opened today, going 2.1 IP while striking out two and walking one. He allowed one hit.
Jesse Scholtens collected the win, with Cole Sulser grabbing a hold and save, respectively.
On the offensive front, Yandy Diaz continued his torrid April with another homer, Chandler Simpson swiped his ninth bag of the season, and Jake Fraley and Taylor walls both had doubles.
Jonathan Aranda also had a two-RBI single.
We do it again on Monday from the corner of Carnegie and Ontario (shoutout Guardians radio and Ford C. Frick award winner Tom Hamilton) where the Rays begin a quick three game road trip against Cleveland, with southpaws Steven Matz and Parker Messick toeing the slab.
