Thu May 5 2016 | 00:34 | Pearce, Guyer making cases for more playing time with Rays |
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Steve Pearce and Brandon Guyer, who opened the season on the Rays' bench, continue to make strong cases to stay in everyday roles with their production while others are mired in slumps.Pearce, who opened the year in a platoon at first base with Logan Morrison, came through with a three-run go-ahead home run in the sixth for a 5-2 lead. With that one swing, he had three more RBIs than Morrison has had all season, with a .094 average in 64 at-bats. He had a home run in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers as well.Guyer, too, opened the scoring with a solo home run and later singled and scored, stepping up while regular left fielder Desmond Jennings was stuck in an 0-for-26 slump. He ended with an eighth-inning single."BG (Guyer) and Pearce both are really igniting us right now," manager Kevin Cash said. "They're making some decisions difficult, how we'll have to factor in continuing to get them in the lineup. They're picking up the offense quite a bit."The Rays need consistent hitting -- they entered Wednesday's game with just a .221 team batting average and strikeouts in 29 percent of their at-bats. A more permanent change in the batting order could solve that if Wednesday is any indication. |
