That went well.

The song blaring from the Tampa Bay locker room was The Who's "The Kids Are Alright" (oh who am I kidding, there's no way twenty-somethings in 2030 would be listening to The Who, but it should be) as rookie Caleb Picciotti hit a big 2-run homer in the 2nd in his first MLB postseason at-bat and fellow rookie Victor de Jesus blasted two more and drove in 4 as the Rays demolished Oakland 14-0 in Game 1 of their ALDS. Any concerns about run-scoring with all the key injuries were put to rest at least for one night as the Rays blasted 6 homers in the rout. Isaac DeLeon got it started in the 2nd with a solo shot before Picciotti's and hit another one later, and Joe Barker added a 2-run homer in the 4th as the fans with outfield seats at Publix Park came away with plenty of souvenirs. And they came exclusively from Rays' bats thanks to Christian Little, who shook off a couple of bad starts to end the regular season by returning to vintage form with a 6 3 0 0 1 9 performance. Mike Mooney and Corbin Martin completed the shutout as we now look to Game 2 tomorrow with Alec Sachais on the bump.

In the other ALDS:

Is it going to be Rays-Rangers III in the ALCS? That's where the arrow is pointing after today's games as Texas rode a dominant performance from Victor Presas (6.1 4 1 1 2 11) and a 4th-inning grand slam from rookie Danny Kovacs off Kumar Rocker to take Game 1.
