The inning continued when Boegarts singled and Devers walked, so there we were with bases loaded.

He walked the leadoff batter, then nearly got out of the inning with a double play, but Walls’ throw to first was way offline (he needed to leap over the sliding runner so not really his fault).

Nonetheless I prefer to see him and his 6 plus ERA in less competitive games. Patiño gave way to Jalen Beeks, who pitched a scoreless sixth, followed by newly re-called Calvin Faucher - who the Rays clearly believe will be an effective reliever for them. Red Sox left fielder Franchy Cordero hit the wall awkwardly in pursuit, and unfortunately needed to be taken off the field in a cart (and yes unfortunately, I don’t want to see anyone injured). Jose Siri singled, and then scored on Arozarena’s long double off the left field wall. It seemed to me that he could have simply not run on that ball, so the Red Sox would have needed to get the out at first.īut the Rays did get a run back in the fifth. Bethancourt’s bloop along the right field foul line fell for a double, but then he got easily tagged out at third on a grounder to the pitcher. It looked like the Rays had a chance to get at least something back in the bottom of the fourth inning. Anyway, mid third inning the Rays were down 2 runs and Patiño was at 60 pitches. One thing about Patiño is that when things fall apart they really fall apart - his delivery slows down, and mistakes seems to snowball (my colleague Darby Robinson says this reminds him of Chris Archer - indeed it does, but I do hope it’s something that Patiño will grow out of). He walked two batters, and eventually gave up a hit - a single to Devers, which scored a run, and then a Trevor Story double scored another run. Patiño pitched a swift, clean second but then in the third inning, just lost the strike zone. The Good Wacha has continued into this year, most notably in his ability to induce weak contact.īut even weak contact can score runs! The Rays got three first inning singles, and a run, and nothing was hit harder than 80 mph. The Rays were facing Michael Wacha, who had pitched for them last year - first badly and then, after an IL stint, quite well.

I could feel my stomach drop, but then Siri caught the ball and grinned, and BA suggested it was an effort to perhaps fool the runner on first into trying to advance. Now I like guys who show some spirit when they hit a dinger, but a full-scale dance-o-rama, complete with (did my eyes deceive me) a crotch grab for a first inning regular season solo home run seems a little much! After a single, Story popped up to centerfield, and Jose Siri waved his arms in the universal sign for “I lost the ball in this damned roof”. There was the Tommy Pham stare down after he was caught looking. This was a fun game, one that lacked the power hitting but had a little of everything else.Įven the first inning had its drama.
