CONGRATULATIONS: Tampa Bay Rays superstar and his girlfriend welcome the birth of twins…..
With James Wood on the horizon, the Nats get shut out by Tampa Bay
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — After Jesse Winker swung through a fastball from the Tampa Bay Rays’ Taj Bradley, he looked toward the Washington Nationals’ dugout. He shook his head as he stepped away from the plate, throwing his hands up and then dropping them to his side
“You try to zone him in and get the ball down,” Winker said. “But it’s hard to do when he’s throwing strikes at the top of the zone. He pitched great. He got in a great groove. He was attacking everybody with everything.”
After Winker whiffed, Harold Ramírez singled to put runners at the corners with two outs for Luis García Jr., who had struck out swinging at a Bradley cutter in the second inning. But Rays Manager Kevin Cash removed Bradley after 99 pitches to bring in left-hander Colin Poche; García flied out to keep Washington’s deficit at 4-0.
