How do you follow all the Euphoria from Monday’s Rays’ City Connect uniform release and slump-busting win? How about a blowout loss that included some spectacular defensive plays, a whirlwind of emotions, bench-clearing, and some punches thrown?
No two baseball games are ever the same.
The game opened with a competitive tone without indication of what was coming. Freddy Peralta was locked in and retired the Rays in order at the top of the first. Tyler Alexander did not look his best for the Rays in the bottom of the first. Former Ray Willy Adames hit a sacrifice fly to center field, allowing William Contreras to tag, score, and give the Brewers an early 1-0 lead.
