Rays 8, Marlins 6
Record: 64-48
Attendance: 14,092
The pesky Marlins at 42-66 gave the Rays just about all they could handle on Saturday, playing them about even up for seven innings. In the bottom of the 8th, Willie Adames homered and Travis d'Arnaud singled in a run, which put the Rays up by two, the final score being 8-6.
The Rays got two homers from newcomer Eric Sogard, and another from Austin Meadows, and the pitching held together, mostly. Diego Castillo opened giving up a hit in his one inning, but Jalen Beeks was not sharp for his second outing in a row: four innings, five hits, one walk, and four runs. Nick Anderson (W, now 3-4), who was traded last Wednesday to the Rays from the Marlins, pitched a solid inning with two strikeouts. Emilio Pagan closed it out for the save, his 9th.
And suddenly the Rays are on a roll. They took two of three from Toronto (the only one they lost they were ahead by 7 runs in the late innings), then three in a row from the Red Sox, now the first of a two-game set against the Marlins. Is another sweep about to be realized?
