Ugh...
The Rays fought back to tie a game they trailed 3-0 only to lose in extras when Chris Gau couldn't find the plate, coming in with a man on and one out and walking the next two before hitting Riley Greene with a pitch to force in the winner and send the team one game from elimination. Tampa Bay should have won in regulation with all the chances they had, including Diego Cartaya grounding into a double play with the bases loaded and one out, Curtis Mead getting thrown out at third trying to stretch a double into a triple leading off an inning, Jeremiah Jackson* being thrown out at home and consecutive strikeouts with the bases loaded and one out in another inning. So it's up to Shane McClanahan, the one guy we would want pitching an elimination game, tomorrow to save the season.
*I forgot to mention in the last post that Ozzie Albies seriously sprained an ankle and is out 4 weeks, so Jackson became the 2B starter and Brooks Lee was called up from Durham.
