Back to the Tampa Bay Rays Newsfeed

Longo’s new muscle, kicking James Loney on the way out, and selling the first pitch: It’s Opening Day!

The Rays will take on the Blue Jays at 4:00 at The Trop today to start the 2016 season. The game is sold out and Chris Archer will be on the mound and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN2.

As you can see above, the Rays are once again going with the “Opening Series” logo, over other options seen around MLB, such as “Opening Day,” “Opening Week,” “Opening Night,” and “Opening Weekend.”

One other question that is left to answer is which award glove will Kevin Kiermaier wear? We already saw earlier this spring that Kiermaier had a gold-labeled Rawlings glove for winning the Gold Glove.
