Rain Delay Plus Sloppy Pitching Equals Rays Loss

Today, the GCL Rays lost their fourth straight game as Kyle Lobstein waded through a sloppy outing assisted by a 77 minute rain delay. A late surge by the Rays wasn't enough to overcome this as the team lost 10-7.

Lobstein allowed 9 runs (8 earned) in 5.1 innings of work while the Rays continued to leave runners on base with 9 left on through the game. A five-run surge in the 7th wasn't enough to pick up the gap, with everyone but Tinker garnering at least one hit on the day.

The manager said after the game, "We can't blame this one on the rain or on Lobstein. He shouldn't have been in after that delay, and we shouldn't have put him in the position we did. I'm sure he'll shake this off and come back just fine."
