It was a much-needed strong effort from Ballesteros after going 3-for-20 with zero extra-base hits in eight games to open the season. The hard-hitting 22-year-old backstop drilled a no-doubter down the right field line against Rays reliever Yoendrys Gómez in the ninth inning after picking up an additional RBI on a sixth-inning sacrifice fly. He figures to lose some playing time at DH once Seiya Suzuki (knee) is back from the injured list.
