The Rays may have narrowly escaped with a win on Thursday, but that didn’t mean there was no carnage.
When speaking to the media postgame following Tampa Bay’s 7-6 win over the Minnesota Twins , closer Pete Fairbanks — who surrendered a game-tying three-run homer in the ninth inning — had a memorable moment.
After an eventful ninth, Fairbanks returned to the game in the 10th inning, notching the save courtesy of an unbelievable throw from center fielder Jose Siri. Over the last few years, the 6-foot-6 righty has proven to be one of the better high-leverage relievers in baseball.
