Marc Topkin’s takeaways from Rays’ 1-0 win over Mariners

• Give Ryan Yarbrough credit for his honesty and his professionalism. It was clear to all watching him come off the mound that he was upset at being pulled after 8u2154 innings, and he said as much in his comments. But he did so gracefully and respectfully.

• The Rays are going to do things the Rays way, and manager Kevin Cash has made it quite clear. Not just in pulling Yarbrough on Sunday but go back to July 30 in Boston, when he took out Charlie Morton with two outs in the fifth, and before that. Matchups rule.
