One win away. That's what the Rays are from their second straight World Series win and fifth in seven years after Christian Little's 6 dominant innings helped bring them a 2-1 win to take a 3-0 series lead. Little, who came back from injury and returned in a couple of middling outings in the ALCS (games the Rays still won), was his more typical overpowering self today with only 3 hits, 0 runs and 9 whiffs over his 6 innings. And the Rays needed that kind of outing because Brusdar Graterol was almost as tough, holding the Rays to 5 hits and 1 run over 7 innings with Keibert Ruiz's hit-and-run RBI double in the 5th the only run through 7. And Ricky Widmar took advantage of Graterol's absence, drilling a solo HR leading off the 8th against Dean Christidis to give the Rays an insurance run they'd end up needing. Jose Alvarado and Daniel Espino got them through the 7th and 8th, and Jasseel De La Cruz came on for the save in the 9th. But he was immediately greeted by a Rio Ruiz homer and then more trouble happened when Keibert misplayed Mebrys Viloria's squibber in front of the plate and Petey Halpin had an infield single with 1 out. JDLC whiffed Nick Gonzales but with 2 on and 2 out and the dangerous lefty-hitting Cody Bellinger due, lefty Mike Mooney was summoned from the pen and he got Bellinger to hit a weak infield pop to end the game. (Side note: the second and a half it took from seeing Bellinger was going to put the ball in play with a 1-0 count until it was rendered by the animation and PxP was the longest second and a half I've spent playing this game). So now the Rays can go for the sweep tomorrow behind Jack Leiter.
