On Father’s Day, the Rays gave dads across Tampa Bay the baseball equivalent of an ugly tie. Their 2-1 loss to Baltimore, on a day when they had traffic on the bases all day, was demoralizing. The also wasted another strong start from Corey Kluber as well as some nice bullpen work. The Rays put runners on in five of the first six innings, and seven out of nine, but were undone by the lack of a clutch hit, and some great Baltimore defense. Where’s Paul Fry when you need him?
Going against Kluber was Austin Voth, who got the start after a late scratch by Jordan Lyles.
