Hayes never touched the plate but was called safe. Tough to overturn that.

Suwinski flies out, stranding Reynolds. Back to square one, game tied at one apiece going to the bottom of the 5th.

Rays right back at it with a walk and a single to start the 5th.

Franco singles home a run. 2-1 Rays. Runners at the corners.

Dome earns the Rays another run, Suwinski and Castro both lose an easy pop fly

Poor defense on the steal to second, terrible throw home, Rays steal home to make it 3-1.

Double steal gets a run home. 3-1 Rays.

Roansy closes out the 5th. Not sure if he’ll come out for the sixth. 3-1 Rays.

Mathias just isn't athletic enough for today's game to be a regular second baseman. He is slow, and doesn't appear very quick.

Need Bae and/or Marcano to step up their AB vs. lefty game, or Mathias has to thump them to be used as much as he is.

That dropped in fly ball leads to two runs. Hedges might be great calling a game, framing, and defense around the plate, but I have yet to see one good throw from him. Him and Mathias together on that steal was exceptionally sub-par

Walking the lead off batter is never a good thing :-/
