Game Notes: The Rays Bullpen vs Zimmermann

16 runs. 23 hits. 4 home runs.

Suffice to say, last night's game against the Washington Nationals was a blood bath.

Alex Colome gave up six earned runs in two innings, the bullpen didn't fare much better, and the fans of the Tampa Bay Rays got to see not one, but two position players trot out to the pitcher's mound. And while there has not been an official change in his position on the team's website, I'm still convinced Nick Franklin adds more value as a mop up pitcher than as a cleanup hitter.
