The Tampa Bay Rays played host to Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels Tuesday evening in Tampa as they began a 13-game homestand. Despite their best efforts to overcome Youtuber Zack Hample and the Halos, the Rays fell in the series opener by a score of 4-3.
While some on social media might place the blame solely at the feet of Hample, who caught a two-run wall-scraping homer just over the outstretched glove of left fielder Christopher Morel, the Rays simply couldn’t get out of their own way on Tuesday night and as a result dropped their fifth straight and dropped to 4-6 to start the year.
