As they say, “The dog days of May are upon us”, and the Rays appear to be in desperate need of some sleep as the offense again proved to be lifeless and a costly blunder in the field resulted in their second consecutive loss.
So in the event that any Rays players read our recaps, I will keep it short and sweet so they can get some rest tonight ahead of the series finale tomorrow.
Shane McClanahan took the mound in search of the first ever 9-0 start in franchise history and was immediately ambushed by Nico Hoerner for a first pitch, leadoff bomb to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead.
