Rays 6, Marlins 7: Motter's Homecoming Spoiled

My 140 character or less recap of the start of the Citrus Series: Bad luck and bad choices.

And now for the slightly longer version.

Rays offense got a quick start on Chen, scoring two in the 1st, with the runs coming from a sharp single by Souza and a bases loaded walk by Taylor Motter. Chen seemed to struggle mightily with command, throwing a pitch to the backstop that got a very fortunate bounce right back to the catcher.

Marcell Ozuna hit what should have been the ground ball out that ended the inning, but some good hustle from Ozuna and bad hustle from Beckham allowed the inning to continue.
