Game Notes
The Tampa Bay Rays returned to Tropicana Field as they played the Detroit Tigers for their final game of spring training. The Rays drop their spring finale, 2-1, however, the story of the day was Jake Faria as he dominated for six innings, holding the Detroit offense, hitless. Faria racked up five strikeouts, and allowed just two batters to reach base (a walk and a hit batter).
After his slow start to the spring, Faria’s past few performances have really impressed the Rays skipper.
