The Rays still could have won the game, by the way.
Abreu seemed like a very bad choice with the bases loaded:
"... Albert Abreu -- who had entered the game in relief of starter Clarke Schmidt -- yielded a grand slam to the first batter he faced on the fourth straight changeup he threw, allowing Taylor Walls to cap the Rays’ five-run fifth and give them their decisive advantage.
'It was a big situation in the game, and my job is to go in there and
minimize damage,' Abreu said through the club’s interpreter. 'Unfortunately, we missed location. … We execute that pitch, I think we
get the result we want. But unfortunately, it ended up in his power
zone, and we paid a high price today because of that.' "
"We."
