Well, so much for the Rays fancy new starting pitcher approach. Sergio Romo, only scheduled to pitch the first inning or two before ceding to the ‘piggy-back starter’ Ryan Yarbrough, did not even make it out of the first.
Trey Mancini grounded out to start the game and then Adam Jones singled. After Manny Machado flied out, Jonathan Schoop reached base on a swinging third strike. Then Danny Valencia looped a double to right field to score Jones and the Orioles were on the board, 1-0.
