Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“The Second Inning exposes Twins defense JT described the Twins defense as “polarizing” in his series preview, and that came into play early, with no outs in the second when Randy Arozarena saw his bat sawed in half. Game Notes The heir apparent to the defensive prowess of current Twins SS Andrelton Simmons is Rays switch hitting defender Taylor Walls, who was promoted once again to the Rays on Sept. He also scored the fifth run of the night hustling home from second base when Meadows laced a 3-0 fastball to right-center. The second out of the fourth inning was a beautiful strikeout by Michael Wacha of the hot hitting Josh Donaldson.”
“After the last outing against them, it was good to get back out there and get another opportunity to face these guys,” Wacha said. It was definitely a tough stretch,” Wacha said. Facing the Twins again Friday night at Tropicana Field, Wacha pitched six strong innings and led the Rays to a 5-3 win. It was a pretty good equalizer off the fastball.” Assisted by Joey Wendle’s sharp snag in the sixth inning, Wacha breezed through another perfect frame and exited with an efficient pitch count of 86 after six innings, matching his longest outing of the season.”
“Sanó recently said he taught Cruz how to pick throws in the dirt, which is why Sanó was just as giddy as Cruz when the first-time first baseman picked a strong one-hop throw from shortstop Wander Franco to end the first inning of the Rays’ 3-1 win in Philadelphia on Aug. We’re not a family, but I feel like he’s part of my family,” Sanó said. That Cruz wore his glove made it even more special for Sanó to see his friend play first base. Cruz has said he continued to field pregame grounders at first base, in part, to help Sanó in his development there.”
“Cash wondered after the game if Franco might have felt some “carryover” from his slide into home plate in the eighth inning of Wednesday night’s game, a play that didn’t seem to bother Franco at the time, and said the club would continue to monitor him for concussion symptoms. “We kind of saw him wincing or grabbing the side of his helmet or something,” Cash said Thursday night. Manager Kevin Cash said Franco slept well, saw a doctor on Friday morning and was in “a much better place” when he reported to Tropicana Field on Friday afternoon. Franco insisted he could stay in the game to finish the plate appearance, so he took ball four from Rodriguez to extend his historic on-base streak to 33 games.”
