Innings 1-3
The Rays’ first big chance (and missed opportunity) came in the second inning. Despite getting the first two men on base, Jesus Sucre jammed into a little doinker of a double play that the Braves easily turned two on. Rob Refsnyder then grounded to first (where Freddie Freeman made a not-easy play) to end any semblance of a threat.
And in the next inning, Ronald Acuna, The Chosen One, made the Rays pay with a line-drive homer that went approximately 742 feet in 0.8 seconds. It sucked the air out of the stadium and for a moment created a miniature black hole near the impact, evaporating with such force that the Sunshine Skyway swayed back and forth.
