Rays Stumble, Lose to Diamondbacks
In the 13-1 Arizona win over Tampa Bay, the impact of Derek Briggs was substantial. Briggs, who is tied for 2nd in the NL with a .987 OPS, was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Albert García, who went 5 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 1 run on 4 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 1-2. The Rays fall to 11-13 and continue their wobbly start to the 2025 season.

Christopher Torres, who finished 2nd in the AL in stolen bases with 32 in 2023, took Tampa Bay hurler Rocky Smith deep in the bottom of the second. His 2-run home run put the Diamondbacks on top, 2-1. In all, Torres had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

Said losing manager Joey Cora: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
