Fairbanks did just that in the 10th, thanks in large part to center fielder Jose Siri’s strong throw from right-center field that doubled-up automatic runner Royce Lewis at third base. Fairbanks then got Carlos Santana to fly out to center as Tampa Bay won its second straight game at Target Field.Tuesday, he took a line drive off his throwing hand and couldn’t grip the ball properly on ensuing warmup pitches. Postgame X-rays came back negative, and Fairbanks said the thumb was fine Thursday.
