If I were not a Rays fan, I would have appreciated this fine pitchers duel.
But because I am a Rays fan I can’t help but feel frustrated by a team that struck out 14 times and left nine runners on base en route to a 1-0 loss.
Both teams had runners the first inning without scoring. In the second inning, however, Seattle was able to string together a few hits to score the first run. The inning could have been much worse if not for a bad base running mistake by Seattle’s Josh Rojas, who managed to get tagged after a pop foul was caught because he was too far off first base.
