Well hello, Detroit, we meet again. Hopefully, this series will yield slightly better results, as the Rays are hoping to hit that magic clinch number sooner rather than later, and while Tigers fans are surely enjoying non-terrible baseball, the Rays kind of have a division to clinch.
Louis Head started things off for the Rays but don’t get too attached, he’s not staying around long. After a 1-2-3 inning, Head’s night was done. The Rays were also quick on the draw in terms of scoring in the bottom of the inning, as Yandy Diaz quickly hit a leadoff home run to put Tampa Bay on the board as quickly as humanly possible.
