Back to even (just barely)...
The Rays were three outs away from going into a 1-3 series hole but a 9th-inning rally gave them a 6-2 win over Washington and a clean slate in the series as we're now tied at 2 games. They scored 5 times before making an out in the 9th off Nationals closer Steve Talbott after being held to only 5 hits through 8 innings. Credit as well to the bullpen for keeping the game at 2-1 long enough for the bats to strike. Gordie Ager will try to give the Rays a series advantage tomorrow before we head back to Tampa for Game 6.
