Rays 0, Rangers 5
Record: 46-36
Attendance: 13,955
It did seem reasonable that there might be a little carry-over from the 18-inning marathon win against the Twins yesterday, the beginning of better fortunes, a return to April baseball, crisp and clean.
But no. The Rays are still stuck in the June swoon. To be fair, after Thursday's nearly six-hour game and a flight that didn't get in till three a.m., it's a miracle they were able to play at all. Of course, it wasn't much of a game they managed to play, tired, and tiresome. They could only muster three hits against veteran Lance Lynn, who picked up his tenth victory against four defeats. He struck out ten over eight innings. Yonny Chirinos pitched lifelessly, lasting six innings and losing the game to go to 7-4.
The only interest in the game was the smattering of Tampa-Montreal antagonism, which you should get used to. Rays fans are not likely to go silently into the French-Canadian night.
The big buzz was the callup of two-way super prospect Brendan McKay, who will start Saturday's game.
