Bring on Game 5...

The Rays scored early and often and got some good pitching to force a decisive 5th game in the ALDS after a 6-2 win at Yankee Stadium. Chris Gutierrez had another big game, doubling twice including an RBI two-bagger in the 3rd to break the ice, and Wander Franco followed with an RBI single as part of a 3-hit, 2-RBI day. Meanwhile Shane Panzini was adequate, pitching into the 5th and allowing only two runs (one on the obligatory homer) and then Kendall Williams shone with 3 scoreless innings to get the game into the 8th before Landon Knack finished it off, putting his Game 1 nightmare behind him. So now we play one game for all the Tostitos with James Hays on the mound and while that didn't work out the first time I'll still take our odds.

And we continue to move in tandem with Houston, which also lost the first two at home but has now forced a Game 5:
