The Rays dropped their fourth spring training game in a row last night as the Pittsburgh Pirates walked off against Ryne Stanek in the ninth inning to win 4-1.

The loss dropped the Rays record on the spring to 6-7-1.

• Chih-Wei Hu worked out of trouble a couple of times for two scoreless innings
• Some guy named Jake Bauers just keeps on hitting, kid came completely out of nowhere this spring /sarcasm
• Tim Beckham hit another HR
