After last week’s offensive struggles, it very much felt like we needed a bounce-back game today. We’ve owned the Pirates so far this season, so this seemed like as good a chance as any to get it going again, with Robbie Ray taking the mound and coming off a very good start against Tampa in his last time out.
Sadly, the game did not begin auspiciously for our boys. Leadoff batter Adam Frazier reached on a Christian Walker error, which I suspect threw a bit of a wrench into Ray’s mindset.
