On Saturday,the Tigers and Rays played an early game in the Yankees minor league park that is currently serving as the Rays home base for the season, Steinbrenner Field. Yesterday’s game was a barn-burner that saw both teams score a bunch of runs, but the Rays emerged victorious off of a disastrous performance from Jack Flaherty.
Ryan Pepiot started for the “Devil” Rays, as the team was wearing throwback uniforms. The right-hander has had a pretty impressive season so far but the Tigers had an offensive explosion yesterday. What would they get today? Well, in the first they threatened but did not score.
