As a writer who contributes to multiple SB Nation sites, I live in a general sense of terror that one day I will publish a recap on the wrong team’s blog. Well, friends, we’re finally in a series where it wouldn’t matter! As a belated birthday gift to me, the scheduling gods have given me a Rays/Tigers series for the weekend and I’m delighted.
So how did things shake out for game one? Anyone else think that a Tyler Alexander/Michael Wacha start would shake out into a bit of a pitchers’ duel? I sure didn’t, but this game stayed tight and scoreless for several innings, in spite of available opportunities.
