ST. PETERSBURG -- Kevin Kiermaier wasn't happy Friday night after getting hit by a pitch on his right hand in the fourth and having to leave the Rays' 8-4 loss to the Blue Jays.
The Rays center fielder left the game when Colby Rasmus pinch-hit for him in the sixth inning, two innings after a Francisco Liriano pitch hit him on his right hand. X-rays were negative, and the Rays said Kiermaier is day to day.
"He got me good," said Kiermaier, who said he could still throw the ball, but that when he went up to the batting cage to try and swing, he felt a lot of pain.
