What a win...
Despite falling behind 5-0, beating outhit 12-6, and having what seemed at least two Milwaukee runners on in every inning, the Rays managed to pull out a 6-5 win and even the World Series thanks to the first two career postseason homers from Ethan Holliday, the second of which off Edwin Diaz in the 10th was the winner. I misspoke about Jose Ramirez's availability for tonight's game as he had only gone four nights ago so the onus fell to rookie Garrett Lambert and although he piled up the strikeouts everything else in between was bad and it was 5-0 when he left. But the bullpen somehow pieced together 6 2/3 scoreless from five relievers who allowed 9 baserunners but none of them to score, including the first two reaching in the bottom of the 10th off Victor Vodnik, who got two strikeouts and a groundout to end it. Ramirez will be the Game 3 pitcher in a couple of nights at the Trop and looking to put the Rays up in the series.
