Arizona DiamondbacksvsTampa Bay Rays
ARI 1/TB 6
Things to say
The Rays beat the Diamondbacks 6-1 at Tropicana Field.
01
opener
Rays handled Arizona 6-1 at the Trop. Never really felt close after the early innings. Tampa's pitching just shut the door.
02
key player
Whoever Tampa ran out there on the mound was filthy. Got into his stuff early and the D-backs couldn't square anything up.
03
hot take
Arizona's offense is a mirage. One run on the road tells you everything about that lineup right now.
04
deep cut
The Rays bullpen barely got tested. That starter went deep and saved the pen for the rest of the series.
05
exit
Tampa's rolling at 46-33. Anyway, curious if Arizona can bounce back tomorrow or if this slide keeps going.
The recap
The Rays handled their business at the Trop, beating up on Arizona 6-1 in a getaway day that never felt close. Tampa's starter got into his stuff early and carried it deep, keeping the heart of Arizona's order off balance all afternoon while the bullpen barely had to break a sweat.
The D-backs scratched across a single run and that was the whole story offensively. Tampa moves to 46-33, while Arizona drops back to .500 at 41-40.
