Rays 6 Giants 1: Civale shines in team effort win
Anyone notice that Giants pitcher Ryan Walker has KK eyes?
He’s also quite good.
Watching him strike out Yandy Diaz on three pitches led me to believe the Rays weren’t going to be getting much during his one opener inning. But Brandon Lowe seemed to realize that while Walker’s slider is unhittable, it’s also generally not in the zone — and he patiently drew a walk. An error put two men on base, Paredes dinked a two strike pitch into shallow center and what do you know, the Rays had a run. That was all they got — Josh Lowe struck out and Randy was thrown out trying to steal third (I know we should be annoyed by the outs on the bases but good lord this offense needs something to get going).
