The Tampa Bay Rays' 25th anniversary season continued with all-time home game number 1,998 against the Milwaukee Brewers. They made the game something worth celebrating with an 8-4 victory.
The Brewers' offense got off to a rocky start. In the top of the first inning, Christian Yelich, Jesse Winker, and Willy Adames all struggled to find their rhythm and were retired in order in the first inning.
The Rays looked like they were off to a similar start, with Yandy Diaz and Wander Franco grounding out to start the inning. Then the Rays began flexing their muscle early with a solo homer from Harold Ramirez in the bottom of the first inning, which gave the Rays an early 1-0 lead.
