CHICAGO, IL (SNN-TV) – The Tampa Bay Rays wrapped up their Windy City excursion last night at Wrigley Field, and the weather effected the game in more ways than one.
Francisco Mejia homered and drove in three runs to help the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Chicago Cubs 8-2 on Wednesday night in a game that was called after 5 1/2 innings due to rain.
First pitch was moved up 70 minutes because rain was forecast for later on a chilly evening. The game was then delayed in the middle of the sixth inning when the rain intensified. It was called just over an hour later.
Josh Lowe had a triple, double and RBI. Randy Arozarena, Wander Franco and Kevin Kiermaier each doubled in runs to help the Rays finish 3-3 in Chicago in back-to-back series against the White Sox and Cubs.
Up next the Rays return home to host Boston for a three-game series starting Friday. Corey Kluber will start in the opener.
