Kazmir misses start
It didn't take very long for the Rays first spring intrasquad game to deliver its first surprise.
Rays ace Scott Kazmir, scheduled to start for one of the teams, went to the mound but didn't stay long as something apparently didn't feel right and walked to the clubhouse instead, getting replaced by RHP Al Reyes.
There's still no word on the official reason, but Kazmir had warmed up in the bullpen as usual prior to the game and sat in the dugout for the first half inning. Kazmir apparently didn't feel right and walked to the clubhouse, as Reyes began to warm up.
We'll bring you more details on Kazmir as we get it.
The highlight of the game so far was RF Jonny Gomes' diving catch in the right-center gap, robbing Fernando Perez of a lead off double - or triple.
