Well that was something...
Not sure what I just saw as the Rays somehow took a wild 12-8 win over the Angels to climb back into the ALCS. After putting 4 on the board to go up 5-1 and cruising into the 7th behind a strong outing from Emiliano Teodo, the bullpen melted down and by the 8th the Angels had gone ahead 6-5. But in a display of determined hitting I've never seen the first six Rays to bat in the bottom of the 8th had hits, the seventh walked, and by the time the dust settled they had scored 7 times on 8 hits to move ahead 12-6. That still wasn't the last word, though, as the Angels made it 7 runs off the Rays bullpen by scoring two more before finally succumbing. We'll see if former Angel farmhand and rookie Garrett Lambert can continue his quality postseason pitching as the Rays attempt to even the series tomorrow.
They'll hope the Phillies are a good omen as they too lost the first two on the road before returning home to take the next two:
