Rays Win Opener in Milwaukee

0:00It's March 31st. Welcome to Milwaukee Brewers News Today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. I'm Corey with the story. The Tampa Bay Race kicked off their three-game series in Milwaukee with a tight three-to-two win over the Brewers on Monday 9. Nick Martinez made his first start for the race and delivered six strong innings giving up just two runs on a Homer by William Contreras. That performance could be a game-changer after his rough spring training. Yandy Diaz stays scorching hot, crushing a lead-off Homer. His first of the year and later ripping a single with 106 mile per hour exit, fellow. Johnny DeLuca nodded it up in the seventh with a massive 438-foot solo shot to left, showing some serious pull-side power, we haven't seen much from him. Nick Fortes stepped up huge in the ninth, doubling in the go-ahead run, then making a key challenge call on a pitch to help seal the victory. His work behind the plate and that bat has been clutched early this season.

1:01The bullpings got the job done late, with Ian C. Moore and Kevin Kelly handling a shaky knife after using other arms in prior innings. Manager Kevin Cash trusted the young guys when options were thin. Tomorrow, Shane McClanahan takes the hill for his first start since August 2023, as the Ray's chased their first series one of the year.
