Rays 4, Royals 9: You Really Can’t Predict Baseball

How did the Tampa Bay Rays lose a game when the odds were so heavily in their favor?

Seriously, if you told me that the Rays would lose to the Kansas City Royals after getting a four-run lead on Jordan Lyles, who was 0-11 this season with a 6.72 ERA, and with the Royals going 0-15 in his starts, I would have taken that bet in a heartbeat. Good thing I don’t bet.

This game should've and could've been the Wander comeback game if only it ended after two innings instead of nine.

Wander Franco, who was playing his first game after being benched for two, showed his enthusiasm right off the bat, literally and figuratively.
