Tampa Bay Rays Fantasy Spin

Avisail Garcia went 1-for-3 and drove in the Rays' lone run in Friday night's loss to the Indians. Garcia opened the scoring in the first inning with an RBI single off of Shane Bieber, but that would be the Tribe's lone tally in the contest. Garcia also walked and swiped a base in the ballgame. He has done a nice job in the middle of the Rays' lineup this season, slashing .281/.343/.543 with nine homers, 22 RBI and four swipes.

Cleveland Indians Fantasy Spin

Roberto Perez delivered a go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning on Friday, propelling the Indians to victory over the Rays. Perez strolled to the plate with the bases loaded and one out in a tied game in the eighth inning, and came through with an infield single to plate the go-ahead run. He also walked in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-3. For the year, the veteran backstop is now slashing .231/.325/.423 with six long balls and 15 RBI
