In the top of the sixth inning, Tyler Skaggs gave his former teammate a changeup over the heart of the plate in the bottom third of the zone. That is C.J. Cron’s wheelhouse, and he didn’t miss. His home run to left broke through the pitching duel, putting the Rays up 1-0.
Dan Slaughbaugh may or may not say “I told you so,” but I sure as Hech am going to say “Dan Slaughbaugh told you so.”
Speaking of Hech, the event this game gets remembered for might be a second-inning single that didn’t lead to a run.
