Mejía delivers again, Rays beat Orioles 5-3
Francisco Mejia #21 of the Tampa Bay Rays hits a 2-run home run in the third inning against the Baltimore Orioles.
No team does a better job of utilizing the entire roster than the Tampa Bay Rays, who thrive on unselfish contributions by role players such as Francisco Mejía.
Less than 24 hours after his eighth-inning, pinch-hit sacrifice fly drove in the go-ahead run against Baltimore on opening day, the young catcher made his first start of the season and delivered again in Saturday’s 5-3 victory over the Orioles.
“I’ve learned to be ready at any time,” Mejía said through an interpreter.
