Yesterday afternoon, the Tampa Bay Rays picked up their first victory of the spring, thanks in large part to a 10 run eighth inning onslaught. The 10 run barrage was highlighted by a three run home run from Jesus Sanchez. Christian Arroyo also homered during the inning, Nate Lowe provided a double.
Brandon Lowe and Kevin Kiermaier (first game back after dealing with a blistered foot), both doubled as well.
Here is the Rays starting lineup:
- Yandy Diaz, 3B
- Ji-Man Choi, 1B
- Avisail Garcia, RF (making his Rays spring debut)
Ricardo Pinto, SP
Tyler Cloyd, Jake Faria, Ryne Stanek, Ian Gardeck.
