The Rays actual used TWO position players as pitchers last night. Jack Elmore for the 8th and Nick Franklin in the 9th. The Nat’s catcher Wilson Ramos hit a homer off of both. Also the Nats used their current reliever as a pinch hitter (I think DH spot for Harper?) against one of them. Bizarre stuff for sure.

I missed that! At the bottom of the 8th it looked like Elmore was walking back to the mound, and that's when I turned off the game; watching Elmore pitch was essentially seeing batting practice for the Nats. I'm a diehard Rays fan, but some things are just too painful to watch :-)
