Renfroe homers twice, Rays fan 19 Braves in 14-5 romp

Hunter Renfroe homered twice and Tampa Bay pitchers set a team nine-inning record with 19 strikeouts in the Rays’ 14-5 romp over the Atlanta Braves

Kicks off rout Monday Zunino went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 14-5 win over Atlanta.

Impact His third-inning blast off Mike Foltynewicz got the Rays offense rolling and gave Zunino his first long ball of the year. The 29-year-old catcher has started three of four games so far but has yet to play all nine innings in any of them, and the team's willingness to sub him out could end up costing Zunino some counting-stat production by the end of the season.

Pops first homer Monday Wendle went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 14-5 rout of Atlanta.

Impact Getting the start at third base, Wendle took Mike Foltynewicz deep in the fourth inning for his first homer of the season. After a disappointing, injury-plagued 2019, the 30-year-old is looking to re-establish himself as a key piece in the Rays' infield.

Powers Rays to big win Renfroe went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Monday's 14-5 rout of Atlanta.

Impact The 28-year-old blasted a three-run shot off Mike Foltynewicz in the fourth inning and then touched up Touki Toussaint for a solo shot in the fifth for his first homers in a Rays uniform. Renfroe has started three of four games so far, but he could become a fixture in right field despite Tampa's roster depth if his bat continues to heat up.

Powers team to big win Renfroe went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Monday's 14-5 rout of Atlanta.

Roughed up in relief Toussaint gave up six runs on five hits and a walk over 2.2 innings of relief during Monday's 14-5 loss to the Rays. He struck out six.

Impact While the right-hander did show flashes of dominance and fired 42 of his 67 pitches for strikes, Toussaint was far too hittable when he was over the plate, serving up a homer to Hunter Relfroe along with a pair of doubles to Brandon Lowe. Atlanta has a sudden opening in its rotation after Mike Foltynewicz was abruptly designated for assignment, but Toussaint's performance in relief of Folty on Monday doesn't suggest he's ready to fill it.

Designated for assigment Foltynewicz was designated for assignment following Monday's loss to the Rays, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. He gave up six earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking...

Impact This is a shocking move, as Foltynewicz had seemingly been a lock for the rotation all offseason and into the spring. The big red flag that will follow Foltynewicz to his next team will be the fact he averaged 89.3 mph with his fourseam fastball during Monday's start after averaging at least 94.8 mph with that pitch in each of his previous six seasons, according to Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan Atlanta. This steep decline in velocity could be injury related, but he said he feels fine, according to manager Brian Snitker. Jhoulys Chacin seems like a logical candidate to step into the rotation. The Braves could also call on one of Bryse Wilson or Ian Anderson at their satellite camp.

Porcello flops in Mets debut, Swanson's 5 RBIs lead Braves

Dansby Swanson tied his career high with five RBIs and the Atlanta Braves chased an erratic Rick Porcello during the third inning of his New York Mets debut in a 14-1 blowout

Slotted in as No. 4 starter Foltynewicz will start in Monday's game against the Rays, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Foltynewicz was effective in Thursday's intrasquad game, and he'll start behind Sean Newcomb in the rotation to begin the season. Foltynewicz should face an innings limit over his first couple turns through the rotation as the team plans to roll out their starters with caution to begin the season. The 28-year-old posted a 4.54 ERA and 105:37 K:BB in 21 starts last season after missing the first several weeks with an elbow injury.

Facing innings limit to start General manager Alex Anthopolous said Wednesday that the Braves will be cautious and limit their starters to 2-4 innings their first couple times through the rotation, David O'Brie...

Impact Spring training 2.0 next month will only provide so much warm-up time for pitchers following the three-month shutdown of official activities, so it's no a major surprise to see teams wanting to take it slow. Each team will begin the 60-game season with a 30-man roster, so there should be plenty of depth to cover the innings from the shortened starts. Foltynewicz had a 4.54 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 105:37 K:BB over 21 starts last season and is looking for a rebound effort in 2020.
