On this night, the Rays welcomed back Marcus Stroman in an incredibly rude way, putting up 4 runs and chasing him from the game in the 2nd. The Rays jumped out quick with Tommy Pham driving in Matt Duffy with a solid base hit up the middle. Joey Wendle extended his hit streak to 9 games right away with a single and the Rays were suddenly threatening big early. Unfortunately, Brandon Lowe came up Brandon Quiet tonight.
The Rays enjoyed that sample of the Runs flavor in the first inning and decided to go for a full waffle cone in the 2nd.
