Pepiot’s Debut Plans Thrown Into Disarray: Rangers 9, Rays 3

The Tampa Bay Rays' pitching continues to be inconsistent at the start of the season. The good news is we are only in the fifth game, with plenty of time to figure it out.

Hopefully, this team will figure it out sooner than later.

Ryan Pepiot made his debut with the Rays to open the series against the Texas Rangers and the first inning was not one he will want to remember. Marcus Semien and Corey Seager both drew walks to open the game. There was hope the Rays might squeeze out of the inning on an Evan Carter groundout, but they were only able to get the out at second and weren't able to turn the double play.
