This game started out with such promise. The Rays got off to a quick start; Yandy led off with a walk, and Franco followed with a majestic home run to right that needed no short porch to get out of the park (431 feet, 108 mph if you are counting).
Our big question of course was whether Shane McClanahan would be able to marshal his always good stuff into an efficient and effective outing. The first inning we were still a bit unsure — he had two full counts, and Judge hit a fly ball to deep centerfield.
