Welp...
This game was pretty much over in the top of the first inning when Chris Archer surrendered three homers and a double to put the Rays in a 6-0 hole and despite the best efforts of the offense it was too much to overcome in a 10-6 loss to put them on the brink of elimination from the ALDS down 2-0. Archer settled in after that and made it into the 5th but the bullpen wasn't very good either and gave up four more runs which turned out to be the difference. That's because the offense came to life with the big 3 (Meadows, Lowe, Arozarena) combining to go 8-12 with 3 RBI. Wander Franco's 0-6 sandwiched in between them, though, was a problem. Nick Anderson had to leave in the 9th with a blister after striking out the two men he faced, it's described as "moderate" for 3 more days after today, so he's only going to be used in an emergency in Game 3 and beyond if we're lucky. But right now Minnesota's bats are too much for Rays pitching, and my confidence is low that Ryan Yarbrough can turn the tide in Game 3.
In the other ALDS:
Most of America was happy to see the Angels even up their ALDS with Houston thanks to 7 2-hit innings from Tyler Mahle and three homers including one from Mike Trout, everyone's sentimental favorite to make it to the World Series, and a tiebreaking shot in the 7th from David Fletcher.
