Steal of the Year
Akinori Iwamura singled and drove in the first two Tampa Bay runs tonight. Right now, he's batting .556 with a .636 OBA. The Devil Rays may get the steal of the year on this deal.
Update: With men on 2nd and 3rd in the bottom of the third, one out, Iwamura made a Graig Nettles type play. Lofton hit a hard liner between Akinori and the bag. He leaped, extended and caught the ball, saving two runs. He followed that up fielding a hot grounder from Catalanotto to end the inning. The DRays still lead 2-0.
