The Rays headed out on the road, because apparently the folks who planned this schedule thought it would be nicer in Washington DC in April than in a lovely temperate dome, but hey, I’m not an expert on weather, that’s Mike Trout’s job.
It seemed like a pretty nice night in the nation’s capital, and the Rays’ bats were probably bringing a fair bit of that heat.
The scoring started early, with Arozarena reaching on a two-out single, followed by a Raley home run to bring him in, putting the Rays up 2-0 in the top of the first.
