Jake Irvin popped Brandon Lowe up with a 1-2 fastball up and in on the Tampa Bay Rays’ left-handed batter, but the ball never came down.
Davey Martinez, the one-time Ray as a player and a coach, warned his players about the odd things which sometimes happen in Tropicana Field.
“Those fly balls that go up in the catwalks, it’s tough,” Martinez explained.
“I told all the guys, even the infielders, I said, ‘Hey, when those balls go up, you’ve got to go get the ball, because at any given moment, that ball is in play, it hits the catwalk.
