The Tampa Bay Rays have won back-to-back games for the first time since the All-Star break with a 6-2 win over the Detroit Tigers.
Yandy Diaz came into the game with the third best OBP (.411) when leading off an inning with a .411 OBP and Tigers starter Drew Hutchison came in with 13.5% BB% over the past two weeks. With that in mind, a Diaz leadoff walk was not a surprising start to the game. The Rays were unable to capitalize on the early baserunner as Hutchison would retired the next three Rays in order to get out of the inning clean.
