The Rays dropped the series-opener against the Houston Astros last night after back-to-back walks handed Houston the win. Drew Rasmussen takes the mound for the second game of the series against rookie starter Luis Garcia.
Wander Franco started things off with one out in the top of the first, hitting a double down the third base line and extending his on-base streak to a record-tying 43 games. He was stranded on third base after moving up on a wild pitch.
Rasmussen worked a 10-pitch first inning, setting the Astros down 1-2-3.
