The Tampa Bay Rays climbed over .500 as they knocked off the Houston Astros 3-2 in a good old fashioned pitchers duel Sunday. No Openers/Headliners, no bullpen days, just two stud starters doing what they do. Blake Snell and Charlie Morton took turns mowing through the respective orders, waiting for somebody to blink. Nobody really did.
Well, except for the hitters.
Perhaps sensing runs would be at a premium, both teams were aggressive with their strategy from the get-go. After Alex Bregman singled to lead off the game, he swiped second and advanced to third on a Ramos throwing error with one out and Gurriel at the plate.
