The Rays lost to the Kansas City Royals 2-1 in a game marked by strong pitching and defense on both sides.
I can sum up the Rays offense pretty quickly. In the bottom of the third, the Rays took a 1-0 lead with some small ball. Brett Phillips got to first on an infield hit, stole second, moved to third on a grounder, and scored on a single.
The lead was very short-lived however, as Carlos Santana hit a solo homerun in the top of the fourth inning. And the tie was gone in the sixth, as the Royals strung three hits together for their second run.
