Red Sox: 9, Rays: 5 - A Wanderful Debut

Happy Wander Day!

Wander’s first plate appearance started him down 0-2, but Wander was able to then work a big league walk.

Swinging at the first two pitches you seen in your career and then working a walk? This was, in all seriousness, an exciting walk to watch. pic.twitter.com/uOKB7W5D2b

Probably not as impressive as it seems, but for the nerves and pressure, I found myself impressed with his walk. A Fransisco Mejia single and a throwing error by the Red Sox scored Yandy and Wander and gave the Rays a quick 2-0 lead.
