The first game of the doubleheader between the Tampa Bay Rays and Kansas City Royals was some contest. It was as exhilarating as any game all season, but unfortunately, it ended in disastrous fashion.
Matt Moore didn’t have it in this game, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits in 4.1 innings and being lucky not to allow more than that. However, the game was tied at 4 when he departed after the Rays scored on a James Loney solo homer, an Evan Longoria two-run blast, and a Jake Elmore sac fly.
