If you wanted to tell the story of the April 2023 Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago White Sox in one game, tonight was that game. The story would be a team full of confidence and resilience facing a team that is becoming the epitome of futility, desperate for hope that today will be the day things get better.
The Rays defeated the White Sox 12-3, but the score does not begin to tell the story. This game was all about Lance Lynn until Lynn got lanced. Lynn pitched six scoreless no-hit innings, which historically is a comfortable place to be against the Rays.
