No need for a miracle comeback today as the Rays jumped out to an early lead, lost it, regained it and never looked back in an 8-4 win over Columbus to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the 2030 World Series. Victor de Jesus is making his bid to be series MVP, and his first-inning, 2-run homer on the heels of Game 2's winner gave the Rays a 3-0 lead after Dayle Jenkins' RBI double. But Jack Leiter, starting in place of the injured Alec Sachais, was not good at all today and coughed up that lead by the 2nd inning. Ricky Widmar's 2-out, 2-run single in the 4th restored the lead which this time they wouldn't relinquish, but Leiter got hit again for another run in the 4th and was pulled for Brad Ballmann, who went 1 1/3 scoreless to become the third Rays reliever with a win this series. de Jesus had an RBI double to make it 6-4 in the 5th, and then they added two more runs in the 7th on an Adley Rustchman sac fly and a Connor Kirkley triple to put the game away. Andy Aparicio had two perfect innings and Jasseel De La Cruz saw only his second action of the entire playoffs by finishing out the final two frames. Marc Wagner, who had a rough start in Texas during the ALCS, will look to rebound and help the Rays sweep tomorrow.
