ST. PETERSBURG, FL — Chandler Simpson’s mission in Game 2 was close to costing the Tampa Bay Rays a run. Monday night kept one faster.

In the top of the second inning, Sal Frelick lined a ball to the short fence in the left field corner at Tropicana Field. Simpson dashed, quickly glanced at the wall, then all went in and took the ball to the wall. He collided with the wall, but fell back into the ball. Simpson tried to get up, but he tripped on the ball to save a runner for Brewer at first base.

Simpson appeared to be injured on the play, lying on the turf several seconds after the play. however, he shook off the coach and stayed in the game.

On Saturday night, Simpson and Taylor Wall passed on Christian Yelich’s blooper to leave what should have been a practice. A groundout brought William Contreras to the plate to tie the game, but the Rays got out of the inning with the score still tied.

Afterwards, the Foxes showed the radiant rays shooting Junior Caminero screaming in the dugout. Some assumed he was yelling about that story, but they have radios when he said he was trying to fire up his teammates.
