Oops...

A funny thing happened on the way to another Rays sweep through the playoffs: the bullpen faltered and they lost Game 3 6-4. The ingredients were all there for a win - Jon Morales and Luis Barela homered again, and although Bob Riley was giving up a lot of hits he was scattering them and getting double plays. But Mel Mejia let a Riley runner score in the 7th and then since he had yet to pitch in the series I felt it was time to let Steve Falcon go for a 2-inning save. The problem was he didn't even get a 1-inning hold as he was hit for a tying homer and then two more runs. And now as he's thrown 31 pitches he may not be available in Game 4. So suddenly we have a series on our hands, especially if the Cubs get even tomorrow against Melvin Delgado who didn't exactly inspire confidence in his ALCS appearance.
