Rays: 12, Diamondbacks: 1 - How Snellzilla Got His Groove Back

After a rain delay in dome-less Baltimore. The Rays head home to Tampa Bay to start their homestead with a 3 game inter-league series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It would be current Ray Blake Snell against former Ray Merrill Kelly.

In 2014, Merrill Kelly had a terrific year in Triple-A for the Rays. Then he went unprotected for and unselected in the Rule 5 draft. So he jumped to Korea.

Now he returns to face his old team, having fashioned himself into a big-leaguer.https://t.co/uYPlJjhw1G— Zach Buchanan (@ZHBuchanan) May 6, 2019

With a successful stint and an impressive start with the D-backs, it makes one wonder if the Rays ( who struggled hard against Dylan Bundy and Baltimore) would be doomed by another former prospect that just owns the Rays.
