After a heavy dose of home games through the first three months of the season, the Rays will be on the road for large stretches of the summer months, and that first trip got started on Tuesday in Kansas City.
Chandler Simpson was recalled after a short stint back in AAA, and got the start in center field. Yandy Diaz got his weekly start at first base.
Danny Jansen got it started with a two-run homer in the top of the second. Jansen started the season slow, but since May 1 he has a 116 wRC+, which is 10th among all catchers.
