The final score turned out wrong. There's that.
Still, a lot of things turned out okay in the spring training opener of the Tampa Bay Rays, who lost to the Washington Nationals 6-2 Wednesday.
For instance, starter Jake Odorizzi had an easy enough outing, retiring the order on eight pitches.
For instance, the team had nine hits, including two for two RBI by Desmond Jennings.

For instance, the Rays led 2-1 in the fifth.
All in all, it wasn't a bad first day in the sun. Rookie Blake Snell gave up a three-run homer to Scott Sizemore of the Nationals.
“It's all about getting better and learning,” Snell said. “I'm working on the changeup, so I have to throw it. None of it matters, so I don't worry about it. You're just trying to get better.”
The Rays play Baltimore today.
