For the first time since April 22nd, the Tampa Bay Rays will have an off day on Monday. So we thought why not look back on a former Ray, who made his MLB debut 19 years ago today. That former Ray? Rafael Soriano.

Soriano made his MLB debut with the Seattle Mariners on May 10th, 2002, and pitched three scoreless innings picking up the save. That save would be the first of many, as Soriano picked up 207 saves over his 14-year MLB career.
