KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At first look, the extended All-Star break didn’t have the effect the Rays hoped for of putting a charge back into their offense.
They didn’t show much in Saturday’s opening game of a day-night doubleheader, though it was enough to beat the struggling Royals, 6-1.
The Rays got two solo homers from Jose Siri and one from Francisco Mejia, and took advantage of a rough three-walk inning from reliever Collin Snider to add three in the eighth.
