Ah, yes, the familiarity of a nice, normal, non-All-Star baseball game. Don’t get me wrong, I love the All-Star Game, I love seeing the enthusiasm and fun of it, but there’s nothing quite like getting back into the swing of things when regular games start up again.
This time around, it was an interleague matchup between the Rays and Braves, and it had a little something for everyone. You like dingers? Check. Like old friend alerts? Got plenty of those. Want things kept exciting with an ever-changing lead? Yup!
Michael Wacha got the nod for the Rays, and was up against former Rays starter Charlie Morton.
