beat the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night, 7-5, at Fenway Park despite a rare managerial gaffe from Kevin Cash.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, with the Rays leading 7-5, Cash was forced to remove reliever Jason Adam after exhausting all of his mound visits.the rays had to pull jason adam out of the game because they tried to make a mound visit and didn't have any leftthe rays had to pull jason adam out of the game because they tried to make a mound visit and didn't have any left 😬As a result, the Rays had to go to veteran swingman Erasmo Ramirez with two outs and two on in the ninth.
Ramirez has been well-traveled in his career, playing for the Seattle Mariners, Rays, Red Sox, New York Mets, Detroit Tigers, and Washington Nationals. He's had two different tenures with the Rays and owns a 42-45 career record. I suppose this is a case "all's well that end's well," but it's a pretty big mistake from Cash and his coaching staff, who are known as one of the smartest and most progressive groups in all of baseball.
After the win, the Rays are now 23-22 on the season and in third place in the American League East. They'll continue divisional play with a matchup with the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night. First pitch is 7:07 p.m. ET in Toronto.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
