The Tampa Bay Rays couldn’t find a spot for Taylor Motter on their 40-man roster last offseason, but they were excited when he went unselected in the Rule 5 Draft. After all, he had steadily worked his way through the minor leagues and added power to his solid all-around set of skills in 2014. Motter showed off some of things he is capable of on Friday as he was nearly their entire offense in their loss to Norfolk.
Triple-A International League: Norfolk Tides (BAL) 9, Durham Bulls 4
This game probably should have turned into a Durham win, but Jim Patterson and Jim Miller allowed 4 runs each in relief to erase a 3-1 Bulls lead after 6 innings.
