Good grief...

Now the Rays know how the Tigers feel, blowing a 7-run lead to lose a playoff game. Almost as soon as the Rays went up 7-0, Texas was back within 7-5 an inning later, and even though the Rays scored two more runs which seemed to be insurance, their lousy bullpen gave up another 5 in the 7th (including a soul-crushing 3-run homer allowed by Mel Mejia, something we should have expected since Dave Frick hit one off him when he was with Washington last year to win Game 7 of the World Series) and Texas went on to win 11-10. The Rays had a great chance to tie or win in the 9th with the bases loaded and a run in, but Jose Castillo flew to shallow right and Luis Barela, who has reverted to his lousy form of the first few months of the season, grounded to first to end the game. So now Ben Moses will try to keep us from falling into an 0-2 hole going back to Texas.
