This was a late one, so you can be forgiven if you looked at the tied score early on and thought to yourself, “No, I like myself enough to go to sleep.”
Some of us need to write recaps, however, so here’s what you missed in the opening game of the Rays/Mariners weekend series.
Jalen Beeks was in slightly uncharted territory, taking on a traditional starting pitcher role rather than the bulk innings role behind an opener. Beeks struggled in this one, those it’s worth noting that both runs scored while he was on the mound were well placed grounders and not mighty blasts to the stands.
