Despite being hit last night by Blue Jays starter Francisco Liriano, Kevin Kiermaier will play today versus the Blue Jays. Kiermaier said there was some soreness, and will adapt a Moises Alou style grip when at the plate tonight.
Following last night’s loss, the Rays will turn to Jake Odorizzi (1-1 | 3.50 ERA) as he faces off against Marco Estrada (1-1 | 2.43 ERA)
Erasmo Ramirez and his wife recently welcomed their first child Addison Maree, Erasmo says he’s happy she loves sleeping after eating.
