Blake Snell needed a good start today in order to get his confidence back up and to show fans that his uneven starts recently have been nothing more than a fluke. And riding the wave of Brendan McKay’s stellar Saturday debut, Snell went out and had himself one heck of a day.
Over the course of six innings, Snell struck out 12 batters, and gave up two runs on three hits. On a mere 80 pitches. Talk about a good turnaround.
The Rays struck first in the runs department, with a Wendle sac fly to score Diaz.
