Rays notes: Forsythe gets a shot at top of the order

Tampa Bay Rays 2B Logan Forsythe hit leadoff Thursday for the second consecutive game in an effort to see if he can grow comfortable with that spot in the order and be used there during the regular season.

“My only input was I would like to get in there during spring training,” Forsythe said. “If that’s how (manager Kevin Cash) wants to write the lineup out, I’d like to get some at-bats to get a feel and just try to prepare myself.”

Forsythe was 3-for-3 with a double Thursday in the Rays’ 5-1 victory against the Pirates at Charlotte Sports Park.
