On another chilly day game, Jacob Faria took the hill against Boston’s Rick Porcello hoping to give the Rays their first win since Opening Day. But to do so, he would have to cover for his centerfield security blanket, as Kevin Kiermaier wasn’t even at the park due to “general illness.”

NARRATOR: Little did Faria know, his problems today would be much bigger than an absent centerfielder.
Denard Span got the Rays off to a quick start with a sharp single to right.
