Coming on to start the bottom of the eighth in relief of right-handed reliever Erasmo Ramirez, he struck out Jaycob Brugman swinging before Rajai Davis singled to center. Marcus Semien then grounded into a force out to second base before right-handed reliever Adam Kolarek came on for Kittredge to finish out the inning.

Player Notes
Kittredge, who saw some time in his new organization's big league camp this past spring as a non-roster invitee, is in his seventh pro season, the first six of which were spent with the Mariners. In both 2015 and 2016, he split the season between Jackson (Double-A) and Tacoma (Triple-A), going 3-3 with a 3.50 ERA in 37 games in 2016, striking out 84 and walking 19 in 72 innings and 2-2 with a 4.32 ERA in 36 games in 2015, fanning 60 in 75 innings while walking 29. Over his minor league career, he's combined for a 21-13 record and 4.15 ERA in 216 games, striking out 418 in 394 2/3 innings while walking 130 and giving up 432 hits for a .276 average against, but his Rays debut season has been by far his best campaign to date and it earned him The Call.
