With a hurricane bearing down on the state of Florida, the Rays and Orioles shoehorned tomorrow’s matinee into a day-night double header, and although multiple members of this masthead took advantage of the two-for-one special in St. Petersburg, not many did.
Don’t let that be the narrative for game two, though, there was real baseball of consequence happening.
After the Rays dropped the first game due to some anemic offense (these Rays shine better in the dark of night) they came back with a vengeance for a dominating rout in game two.
Andrew Kittredge opened for the Rays, working a scoreless first inning on one hit, but it was the next few frames of pitching that should be remembered.
