You’re somebody until the Tampa Bay Rays beat you.
Detractors will are quickly running out of making any legitimate argument about the Rays' hot start this season as they convincingly seal the series win between the teams with the best records in baseball, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-1.
These Pirates certainly aren’t nobodies, though; the Rays did their best to make the best team in the National League look that way.
Shane McClanahan started things by striking out Ke’Bryan Hayes to open the game. Bryan Reynolds followed it up with a double on a sharp line drive to left field, putting a runner in scoring position.
