The Rays showed up on the west coast continuing their road woes, playing yet another uninspiring road performance. Meanwhile, their hosts in Oakland are just playing great baseball, winning their 6th straight game.
One big inning from Oakland to break Eflin, and the one brief spark of offense for the Rays in the form of a 2-out bomb from Siri. Other than that, just sparkling pitching kept the bats for both sides off balance and off the scoreboard.
Starting with the pitching for the Rays, Zach Eflin looked like he was set to put on a show.
