Back to Tampa...

Well that was quite unexpected, as Kevin Kerstetter picked a bad time to lose his first game of the season. The Rays lefty was done in by a couple of lefty Red Sox hitters in the 1st, Ben Traylor with a 2-run homer and Pierson Gibis with an RBI double and it got worse from there. 35-year-old journeyman Demar Dotson meanwhile kept the Rays in check, retiring the first 9 batters before giving up a Jaiden Hardaway homer and held them until the 7th when Omar Rodriguez hit a 2-run shot but by then the game was out of hand. Nate Schultz will need to pitch way better than he did in Game 1, or this record-setting team is going to be watching the rest of the playoffs from home.

We've also got a Game 5 in the other ALDS:

Julio Rodriguez hit a tie-breaking single and Aaron Nixon added a 2-run knock in the 7th to break open a 5-5 game and propel the Twins to a series-tying win. And yes, that's former Rays reliever Chris Hicks with the win. Game 5 will be back in Texas.
