Rays 4, Orioles 1: Almost Perfect

I don’t know how Drew Rasmussen feels, but I’m exhausted. You can only hold your breath for so long! The boys turned in an entertaining 4-1 win, in which Drew Rasmussen pitched into the ninth with a perfect game intact.

Lineups!

Both pitchers were cruising early, with no hits for either team through fifteen outs. But Jose Siri broke the string, collecting the game’s first hit with a third inning leadoff single to right.

[Side note: When did Siri ditch that little toe-point batting stance? I just noticed today that he had a much more conventional set up.
