HOUSTON — Energy.
That's what Kevin Kiermaier said he felt he'd bring most in rejoining the Rays Tuesday against the Astros after missing two-plus months recovering from thumb surgery.
"I like to think I bring energy on both sides of the ball, whether it's hitting a hustle double or making an above average play in the outfield,'' Kiermaier said. "I'm just always very lively. I'm always high energy in the dugout. I always try to play like that, too. No matter what the score is, I want to play the game the right way. I think your teammates see that, and you're just trying to create momentum any way you can for your team.
