The Rays are a baseball team who plays 100% of their home games in the Tampa Bay area.
For now.
Today, they opened a series against the Twins, a baseball team who plays 100% of their home games in Minneapolis.
Blake Snell, a pitcher for the Rays, splits his time throwing fastballs and curveballs. Today, however, he felt he could achieve more success if he spent more time throwing fastballs.
Call it a more sustainable model for progress, if you will.
But that’s not quite what happened. The Twins jumped out in front in the top of the second on a single by Willians Astudillo, and added three more in the third on a home run by Jonathan Schoop and singles by Eddie Rosario and CJ Cron.
