Tampa Bay Rays take three of four from Astros

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash already went against his rotation that he set in early spring when he elected to toss out Yonny Chirinos for seven innings in a traditional starting role rather than deploying two openers to finish out the back end of the rotation.

Chirinos may make Cash reconsider this whole three man rotation thing after this afternoon. Chirinos went seven innings, only allowing a pair of hits (one of which being a home run to Jake Marisnick) with six strikeouts.

That is an impressive stat line no matter who you are facing, but it gets a boost when you factor in the lineup Yonny Chirinos had to face.
