Let’s get it started
Here is the starting lineup for Sunday’s season opener against the visiting Blue Jays:
Logan Forsythe 2B, Logan Morrison 1B, Evan Longoria 3B, Corey Dickerson DH, Desmond Jennings LF, Brad Miller SS, Steven Souza Jr. RF, Kevin Kiermaier CF, Hank Conger C, Chris Archer SP.
Forsythe, Longoria, Jennings, Souza, Kiermaier and Archer were all in the 2015 Opening Day lineup.
This will be Longoria’s eighth start on Opening Day, tying former LF Carl Crawford for the most in team history. It will be the fifth for Jennings.
Big arm on this kid
RHP Ryne Stanek, a first-round pick in the 2013 draft, made an impressive spring debut with the big club Friday, pitching the final four innings of the Rays’ 9-4 split-squad loss to the Tigers in Lakeland.
