The Tampa Bay Rays’ chances of winning on Saturday were questionable even before their game against the Toronto Blue Jays began. The reason was simple: they were sending Erasmo Ramirez to the mound.

The consensus was that he should be designated for assignment or demoted to long relief–no one thought he would start again.
