BOSTON — Jeffrey Springs had been going through a lot over the past week, with his 5-month-old son, Stetson, hospitalized in St. Petersburg, Fla., for undisclosed reasons.
He felt comfortable enough with the situation to rejoin the Rays on Tuesday after being away from the team for a week and worked the first four innings of their 8-4, bounce-back win over the Red Sox.
After being shut out and held to two hits Monday, the Rays came out swinging Tuesday, looking more like the team that seemed to break out of an extended offensive slump last weekend in Toronto.
