Stayin' alive!

Boy it didn't look good in top of the first when the Rays played one of the sloppiest innings imaginable, featuring two errors, a bases-loaded walk and a Detroit steal of home, but they kept pecking away at the lead with single runs through the first 4 innings and a 2-run Luke Voit homer in the 5th to take the lead for good. Joe Ryan survived that nightmare first and made it through 6, actually keeping the ball in the park! Tylor Megill retired all six men he faced, making it 18-for-18 this postseason, 12 of them on whiffs, and Christian Chamberlain took care of the 9th as the Rays had to manage a fatigued bullpen from yesterday's 19-inning game. They still have a long, long way to go but Dustin May will try to force a return to Detroit tomorrow.

In the NLCS:

The Dodgers pulled out a dramatic win to avoid suffering the Rays' fate of falling behind 3-0.
