Game 13 vs. Tampa Bay

This was what we’ve come to hope for – if not exactly expect – from our team. We got off to a great start and then held on for the rest of the game.

The fun got started in the top of the first when Jarrod Dyson – subbing for Alex Gordon in left – made a spectacular, run-saving catch at the wall and then fired it in swiftly enough to pick off the runner at first for a double play.

Then in the bottom of the inning Lorenzo Cain hit a three-run blast that set the tone for the rest of the game. The Rays briefly rallied in the fifth, but we regained the lost runs in the bottom of the inning and cruised into the finish.

Because this was a rare Thursday day game, I don’t have stats (the iPad is unusable in bright sunlight).
