Welcome back. Willy Adames. The former Rays’ shortstop was welcomed warmly by fans and the home dugout alike as he made his turn to Tropicana Field tonight, and it was nice to see his familiar smile on the field again.
For the Rays, there weren’t a lot of familiar faces when it came to squaring off against the Brewers, and this unusual little two-game series was a hard one to predict. Shane Baz was up for the Rays and Brandon Woodruff took the mound for the Brewers.
It took a while before any runs scored.
Adames was actually the first player of the game to collect a hit, with a one-out single in the top of the first.
