The Tampa Bay Rays called for the arrest of the Louisville police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in a tweet on Friday, hours before their opening day game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The tweet from the Rays official Twitter account early Friday morning read: “Today is Opening Day, which means it's a great day to arrest the killers of Breonna Taylor.”

The message was followed by a secondary tweet announcing a $100,000 donation to local organizations fighting against systemic racism.

“Systemic racism is real. Let’s unite for positive change,” another tweet read.

Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT, was shot eight times as officers burst into her home on Springfield Drive, firing over 20 rounds, as they were conducting no-knock warrant related to a narcotics investigation on March 13.

None of the officers involved in the shooting have been arrested or charged. The Kentucky Attorney General’s Office is still investigating.

The Rays statement comes a day after MLB players held a black ribbon and kneeled together in a moment honoring the Black Lives Matter movement on Opening Day.

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Sam Coonrod was the only player in both games not to take a knee, arguing that because of his faith “I can’t kneel before anything besides God.”

“I just can’t get on board with a couple things I’ve read about Black Lives Matter, how they lean towards Marxism,” Coonrod continued. “And … they said some negative things about the nuclear family. I just can’t get on board with that.”

Coonrod didn't elaborate on what he was referring to, but he did tell reporters that he meant no "ill will" by his gesture.
