If you just see the score for this game you’d probably think it was a no doubter, but in fact this game was close — and indeed the Rays were on the losing end — until the eighth inning.
You can either say the Rays got off to a quick start, going ahead 1-0 in the first. Or that they got off to a disappointing start, because they had the bases loaded with no outs and all they had to show for it was one lousy run.
The second inning opened with an unfortunate (for the Rays) hit; a Profar pop up into shallow left field that a converging Arozarena, Basabe and Mead let drop for a triple (it was a tough angle for all of them but still I think that better communication could have helped them avoid crashing into each other).
