ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Alexei Ramirez admits that his poor performance on Saturday evening hasn’t been easy for him to handle.
In baseball terms, the White Sox shortstop “wore it” after he failed to make plays twice late in Saturday’s 5-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Ramirez surrendered a run when he couldn’t get the ball out of his glove on a routine grounder and his eighth-inning error allowed the winning run to score. On Sunday, the veteran said Saturday’s effort was the most difficult in what has been a rough 2015 campaign so far.
“Last game was one of the tougher games for me this season,” Ramirez said.
