While the Rays and the White Sox matched up this series as two of the younger teams in baseball, today’s game featured two starting pitchers with 599 career starts between them.
For the Rays, Charlie Morton, coming off a scoreless outing against the Rockies. For the Sox, Ervin Santana (activated today) would make his first start of the 2019 season. Entering the game, the Rays had baseball’s lowest team ERA.
It wasn’t the easiest win, but the Rays 10 to 5 victory over the Sox nonetheless extends their franchise best start of 4 consecutive series wins.
The Rays would continue their early scoring ways in the 1st, as a sacrifice fly by Brandon Lowe scored Austin Meadows, who led off the game with a line drive single.
