In search of bright spots? Look no further than Blake Snell. And then stop looking, because there are no more in today's game.
Are there Rays fans who wondered why Blake Snell's arrival was so hotly anticipated? Who were skeptical about him even as he was named one of the top prospects in baseball? To any Snell skeptics: I hope you watched today's game.
Snell mixed his pitches to keep the Angels batters off balance. Getting Ks off of breaking balls, change-ups, and that dynamite fastball, Snell seemed well in charge for a good part of the game.
