Ladies and gentlemen, Troy Percival

Rain has started falling in the bottom of the fourth.

Also making an appearance is Rays closer Troy Percival, who has yet to pitch in a game this spring.

That’s part of Percy’s routine. He needs eight, maybe nine innings, to get ready for the season.

“He’s not on a normal scheduled, because he’s not normal,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said.

Percy threw about nine pitchers to get through the inning, retiring the Phillies on a pop-up to third, a strikeout and pop-up to second.
