Percival Collapses
Troy Percival just struck out Boggs looking, but on the third strike pitch fell over. At first I thought he just threw the ball hard, but he stood up and started limping. The Rays took him out of the game, and Wheeler comes on to try to finish the game. Watching in slow motion, it's clear that his left leg gave way after he planted and delivered the pitch. The Rays may need to find a different closer for a while.
Update: Wheeler allows a run, but Upton makes a great diving catch in short center to end the game. The Rays win 5-3 and stay in first for another day.
Garza pitches another great game, striking out ten over eight innings and allowing just two runs. Matt ends May 4-1 with a 2.52 ERA.
