Clemente was a phenomenal player, but an even better human being. He tragically died in a plane crash on Dec. 31, 1972, while attempting to deliver emergency supplies to Nicaragua following a devastating earthquake. Thanks to Clemente Day, the baseball world gets to honor the life and legacy of an icon, a trailblazer, and a legend. Aided by an All-Latino line-up the Tampa Bay Rays dictate one-way traffic
Following Yandy Diaz’s three-run homer in the second inning, the Tampa Bay Rays never looked back. Isaac Paredes hit a solo home run and added an RBI single as the Rays went on to claim the final game of the five-match set. Thursday’s loss reduced the Blue Jays' lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL Wild Card race to only half a game. The Seattle Mariners currently occupy the top Wild Card spot with an identical .563 win percentage to the Blue Jays, but with two games in hand.
