The only thing that hurts more than a balk-off loss in 10 innings is following it up with a walk-off loss in 10 innings the next day. The Tampa Bay Rays lost 5-4 to the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday after blowing a 3-run lead in the eighth inning.
Things got off to a concerning start in the first inning. Not because the Rays were retired in order but because Wander Franco was pulled from the game with what was later reported as discomfort in his right hand and wrist. He was seen grimacing during the at-bat and will be evaluated on Monday.
