The 2020 regular season is officially underway and it didn’t take long for a member of the Tampa Bay Rays to launch the team’s first home run of this 60 game campaign.
Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, making his MLB debut, stepped up to the plate in the top of the 6th inning set to face Blue Jays starter Hyun Jin Ryu for the third time of the contest.
Tsutsugo had grounded out in his first plate appearance and then was plunked during his second trip to the plate.
Ryu, who usually has impeccable command, struggled with his control throughout the game.
