Tonight’s game had all the essential elements of a good story including interesting characters, emotional conflict and satisfying resolution depending on your rooting interests.
The setting for tonight’s story was the dome many love to hate, Tropicana Field, with the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles fighting for the third and final wild card slot in the American League with 50 games remaining after the conclusion of this game.
DL Hall was making his major league debut as the starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles and the Rays did their best to make it uncomfortable for him.
