Welcome to Game Two of a double header, courtesy of a rainstorm on Friday night. In this outing the Rays decided to put together a bullpen day in order to better align the starting rotation for Texas and Baltimore.
This game got started with a solid outing from Shawn Armstrong, who turned in two solid innings, Cooper Criswell came on for four innings (allowing 2 runs), and then a traditional pen of Kelly-Poche-Fairbanks finished things off in a classic Rays win.
Armstrong, who seems like a great candidate to be getting stretched out by the Rays after this matchup, was particularly sharp as this game’s Opener.
