A matchup of Ariel Miranda (6.68 ERA/6.11 FIP in the second half) and Jake Odorizzi (4.30 ERA/5.64 FIP on the season) was a game many anticipated some fireworks, and we were not disappointed.
The Rays started off well enough. With two runners on base and a full count with two outs, Jake Odorizzi was able to get Seager to chase a fastball out of the zone to end the inning. In the bottom half of the inning, Tampa was able to add a little support for Jake. Kiermaier scored on a two-out RBI single from sizzling catcher Wilson Ramos, and the Rays lead 1-0.
