Play was delayed for 19 minutes during the third inning. Luckily, the Rays had a pretty good solution to keep fans entertained during the partial power outage: Playing the baseball-themed Looney Tunes episode on the Tropicana Field scoreboard.

Bugs Bunny seemed to energize the Rays, as they partially made their way back from a 5-0 deficit against the Los Angeles Angels. But they still ended up losing, 7-5.
