I spent a good part of the game envying Minneapolis their early fall weather. That blue sky, the 64 degree temps, what a day!
And the Rays bats seemed to appreciate the weather, too. They scored three in the first inning, starting with Curtis Meads triple. Max Kepler, in right field was not given an error on the play but that ball seemed very catchable — and after he failed to get it, Kepler froze for a minute rather than getting the ball back to the field quickly.
Mead trots to third on his leadoff triple pic.
