The Tampa Bay Rays saw their 13-game winning streak to start the season end on Friday, but the team still has some magic left for the early going of 2023.
The Rays snapped the brief two-game losing streak on Sunday with an 8-1 win over the Blue Jays, and of course the Rays managed to end the game in astonishing fashion.
With Kevin Kiermaier at the plate with two on and two outs in the ninth, he hit a hard grounder towards the mound that was fielded on a no-look, behind-the-back snag by pitcher Jason Adam. Just look at Kiermaier’s reaction. He couldn’t believe it.
Kevin Kiermaier was shocked Jason Adam caught this, and so are we 😂

The Blue Jays outfielder could only make it a few steps out of the box against his former team before just looking back at Adam and saying, “Wow. Wow.”
When things are going right for a team, those kinds of plays happen.
MLB fans could also relate to Kiermaier’s reaction there. What a way for a game to end.
This was how Twitter reacted
KK going “wow. okay” is killing me. https://t.co/Ozc4wuI3ow
