Rays' Taylor Walls: Gets start at shortstop

Walls is starting at shortstop and batting seventh in Tuesday's AL Wild Card Series opener versus the Rangers.

Walls didn't start two of the Rays' final three regular-season games and has posted an anemic .491 OPS since the beginning of June. However, manager Kevin Cash trusts Walls' glove at shortstop more than anyone else and that's earned him a start in Game 1.
