Sadly, friends, there was not enough time for Nelson Cruz to get to Cleveland in time to join the Rays for tonight’s game, but soon enough we’ll get to gleefully discuss what he’s offering on a nightly basis.
If you missed the live broadcast tonight, Erik Neander chatted with Dewayne and Brian Anderson about the big trade.
The game got off to a slow start, though the Rays looked good out of the gate. To lead off the first inning, Brandon Lowe drew a walk. Arozarena then grounded into a fielder’s choice to eliminate Lowe.
