Things worked out fine for the Tampa Bay Rays at Target Field on Friday night. They won 5-to-2 over the local nine.
Not so much, though, for Steven Souza Jr., who just missed catching Kenny Vargas’ fly ball to right field in the seventh inning.
Just missed.
Confirmed by a glance at instant replay. So, so close.
“Good effort,” his manager said after the game.
Souza homered in his next at bat.
