One win to go...
The Rays took a hard-fought 3-2 come-from-behind win over Twins to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the ALCS. They were up against a tough customer in Minnesota's Terry Ladner who kept them off the board through 6 as the Twins held a 2-0 lead. But
Cristian Hernandez tied the game with one swing of the bat in the 7th, and
Dong-hwan Kim and
Kelly Crumpton hit back-to-back doubles in the 8th to manufacture the winning run.
Francisco Morales gave them a solid start, and the bullpen did a good job especially
Eddie Yean, who got the win with 3 whiffs, and
DeMarcus Evans, who atoned for blowing Game 2 with a 1-2-3 9th to preserve the one-run win. The Rays are definitely sitting pretty now with a chance to win the series tomorrow night with their ace
Joe Marlette on the mound.
