Look, I love you guys, but we are not going to discuss the first three and a half innings of this game. If you want to read the specifics of walks and singles that didn’t score, that’s fine, I respect your intensity, but I’m jumping right to the good stuff, because it’s GOOD STUFF.
After going through four games against Boston without a single home run, the Rays were hungry for something today. While Varland had been strong through three innings for the Twins, in the bottom of the fourth inning the pesky home club got things going and didn’t let up.
