Tampa Bay Rays: 10, Cleveland Guardians: 5 - Notorious Nelson Cruz Crushes in Rays’ Debut

Its been a busy 24 hours since the last Rays’ game. Nelson Cruz officially acquired. Rich Hill traded away, and the Cleveland Indians are now called the Cleveland Guardians.

Rays and Cruz opened up the first inning uneventfully, with Ji-Man Choi hitting a floater for an out, and Cruz grounding out, although I was surprised how quickly Cruz hustled down the line, even on a simple ground out.

2nd inning Yandy Diaz and Wander Franco were able to get on base with only 1 out and Randy Arozarena up to the plate.
