“We never feel like we’re out of a game,” manager Joe Maddon said. “I know we’ve been struggling at the plate a bit, but this game causes those kind of moments and you just have to battle through them.”
“It’s a disappointment because of all the relationships I’ve built in the organization and the city, but you can’t control the business side of the game,” Kazmir said at the time.
The Rays hope to have B.J. Upton back after he missed Monday’s game due to the birth of his son. The outfielder has been slumping, going 3 for 31 with 13 strikeouts in his last nine games.
