Ryne Stanek made his return to the 1st inning of Tampa Bay Rays games and he did not disappoint. KK and Brandon Lowe both hit bombs driving in a combined 6 runs on the night. The pitching was good once again and the Ryas rolled to their 4th win in as many games.
The Colorado Rockies sent Chad Bettis to the mound in their second visit ever to Tropicana Field with the first coming in 2004. Bettis would go five and two-thirds allowing 6 earned runs on 7 hits.
After Ryne Stanek’s impressive open, in which he struck out the side, Ryan Yarbrough did a bulk of the work out of the pen, eating up four and a third innings.
