The error was ugly: Bazzana easily handled a routine grounder that had double-play potential but then made a terrible throw to second that went into right field. It led to the Rays’ lone run of the game. Bazzana was better at the plate, hitting three balls between 100 and 103 mph. They all turned into outs, but his shot to deep center might have grabbed some wall if not for the wind knocking it down.

Bazzana struck out, flew out to center field and drew a walk in three at-bats against Rays starter Nick Martinez during his highly-anticipated big-league debut at Progressive Field. He was denied a chance to deliver a potential game-tying or game-winning hit when he was intentionally walked by reliever Cole Sulser with two outs in the ninth inning. The 23-year-old’s combination of advanced hitting ability, plate discipline and power/speed combination should give him some immediate fantasy relevance, especially in deeper mixed leagues. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in all leagues, especially OBP formats.
