ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Twins rolled into Tropicana Field Friday with a seven-game winning streak and a handful of familiar faces, including former Rays such as manager Rocco Baldelli and pitchers Chris Archer, Emilio Pagan and Joe Ryan.
Two players new to the Rays this year cooled them off with key roles in Tampa Bay’s 6-1 victory before a Friday night crowd of just 9,928.
Veteran Corey Kluber bounced back from a rough previous start to provide six sterling innings, allowing just one hit.
