A wild ending but a good one...
Don't believe everything you read above. The Rays didn't win the game with a Wander Franco RBI single like it says above. Instead Franco was at the plate after Marco Luciano reached on a wild-pitched third strike and the next two batters walked to lead the bases before White Sox reliever Ron Marinaccio uncorked another wild pitch to score Luciano with the walk-off winner. Before that it was a wild back-and-forth game that saw Shane McClanahan struggle, allowing among other hits a 2-run homer to former Ray Willy Adames, only for the Rays to take a 4-3 lead on Diego Cartaya's 2-run triple in the 6th. But Chicago immediately went back in front with back-to-back homers off Chris Gau, including one from yet another former Ray in Austin Meadows. And then the Rays tied it at 5 on an actual Wander RBI single before we went to extras where they took a 1-0 series lead. John Swanda will take the bump tomorrow in hopes of a 2-0 lead.
