Let's win Game 5...
The Rays bounced back doing that thing they do, scoring a lot of runs and often via the homer. They hit 4 tonight in an 11-2 rout to even up the ALDS and force a Game 5 back at Publix Park. Jim Gebers had the game's big hit, a 2-run double that got them going in the 2nd, and he later homered, and then Jon Jimenez's grand slam in the 4th broke the game wide open. Vinny Willard was excellent in his first postseason start and Steve Beaver acquitted himself well too. They're both righties of course, so not a surprise. Of course we'll be throwing a lefty at them in Game 5, Danny Romero, and he'll need to find his form or it'll be another short playoff.
In the NLDS, the favorites strike back on the road with the first playoff game in Coors in nearly 25 years playing out like a Coors game:
