Wilson catches Rays' HR bug, hits first TB shot

ST. PETERSBURG -- Bobby Wilson was in his street clothes following Tampa Bay's win on Saturday. He was walking across the Rays clubhouse to the dining room in the back when his batterymate, Chris Archer, called out to him.

"It's good to have you back, Bobby."

The newest Rays catcher had played in 25 games with the team in 2015 and developed a good rapport with the pitching staff, but he never found any offense. He batted just .145 with no extra-base hits. On Saturday, in his first game after returning to the team, his offense was at the center of Tampa Bay's 7-3 win over Minnesota at Tropicana Field.
