Zuber having a bad season so far, ERA over 6.00, 6 HR in 27+ innings, 0-3 record. Throws five pitches, mostly FB 94-5 and slider, also has a curve, change and cutter.

DJ... Takes a slider low near the corner away, 1-0 Fouls off a slider below middle, 1-1 Takes a cutter way low and away, 2-1 Yanks the FB way outside, waist high, 3-1 Slider misses about 4 inches outside, knee high, and DJ lays off, ball 4. Bases loaded with 2 down for Rice with a chance to blow this one open. Meeting at the mound to tell Zuber how to avoid that if he can.

Rice lays off a slider down and in, 1-0 Takes a FB at 97 at the knees, outside middle, 1-1 FB on the coenr away above the waist, hit down the left side, slices way foul, 1-2 Cutter backs up well outside, ball 2, gets a bit away from Jackson, but he pounces quickly and the runners can't move. ARGGGGGGHHHH!!! Hanging cutter near middle, he puts a HR swing on it, but fouls it down. Dangit. Cutter misses low, inner half, 3-2 Runners will go.

Still struggling with RISP. But 5 runs makes that a little more palatable today...

JUST A FREAKING GOSH AWFUL CALL THERE. Cutter misses at least 3-4 inches below the knees outer 3rd, called strike 3 anyway. Brutal call keeps the Rays in the game, inning over. Extra brutal because besides taking an RBI BB from Rice, it denies Soto a chance to deliver the crusher.
Top 7, 5-1 Yanks. Arozarena, B. Lowe, and Siri for the Rays in the 7th.

FB waist high outside corner fouled back, and Arozarena hits Wells on the wrist on the follow through. 0-1 Bounces a curve on or over home, 1-1 CHange thigh high just above the knees, lined hard down 3rd, but DJ dives to his backhand and catches, 1 down. Nifty at-em ball there.

B. Lowe... Swings over a slider out of the zone low/away. Swings under a high slide that brushes the top of the zone, 0-2 Takes a slider low/away, 1-2 Slider outside by 4-5 inches, knee high, and Lowe chases it for Rodon't 9th K.
OK, who is this guy and what has he done with Carlos Rodon?

Blake out to give Rodon a breather... He's at 96 pitches after the 6 pitch walk, and this is almost certainly his last batter.
