Braden Bristo

The Tampa Bay Rays extended their season-opening winning streak to 13 on Thursday afternoon, a 9-3 victory over the visiting Boston Red Sox. A major highlight from the contest was when in the seventh inning, fresh-faced, 28-year-old relief man Braden Bristo made his Major League Baseball debut and, after his three-inning stint on the mound, recorded his first career save. Impressively, Bristo whiffed four Red Sox batters and allowed no hits in his introductory performance.
