There were two first inning offerings Taj Bradley wishes he could get back after Marcus Semien and Jake Burger homered to start Saturday night’s contest in Arlington.
However, if wishes were fishes, the world would be an ocean.
After settling in, Bradley’s next four innings were quite masterful, allowing no hits while striking out seven.
In the meantime, the Rays fought an uphill battle facing Jacob deGrom with a 4-0 deficit.
Tampa Bay slipped on their boots and got to work, as Brandon Lowe hit a solo shot to supplant him at third on the Rays’ all-time home run list.
