Job done...
It wasn't pretty but the Rays took care of business in Anaheim, taking the ALDS at the first opportunity with a 7-5 win. Jon Morales hit his first two MLB postseason homers, the second of which was a gargantuan blast of 465 feet well onto the rocks behind CF, and the Rays held a seemingly-comfortable 4-1 lead. But Willie Navarro loaded the bases without getting anyone out in the 7th and Mel Mejia served up a grand slam to put the Angels in front. Tampa Bay bats had other ideas though and with two out and nobody on in the 8th they strung together 4 straight hits capped by Nelson Bocardo's 2-run double to re-take the lead. But the job wasn't done yet as Abelaldo Gray loaded the bases in the 8th requiring Steve Falcon to come in early and get a strikeout to end the threat and then Falcon himself loaded the bases in the 9th before getting a groundball to end it. Now they'll play the White Sox-Astros winner which appeared to be Chicago before Houston hit them with 6 runs in the bottom of the 9th of their Game 3 to stay alive.
