ST. PETERSBURG -- Kevin Kiermaier was back in the lineup Saturday afternoon, a day after getting hit by a pitch on the hand.
After Friday night's game, the Rays' center fielder told reporters that he wasn't happy about getting hit by Blue Jays starter Francisco Liriano. Rays manager Kevin Cash was asked on Saturday whether or not he felt that Liriano had thrown at Kiermaier.
"Look, I personally don't think there was any intent," Cash said. "But I respect K.K.'s frustrations, simply because he's been hit in the hand before. And it doesn't feel good.
