U-G-L-Y...
The Rays were crushed by the Tigers in Game 2 and worse yet we lost
Jeffrey Springs to injury as the star lefty suffered a partially torn labrum which ends his 2026. With him leaving early the bullpen had to throw a lot of pitches, which won't help us for tomorrow's decisive Game 3 started by
Taj Bradley. One highlight was a 3-run pinch-homer from
Hunter Owen who was added to the roster for this series for just such a situation, but we didn't anticipate being down 10-0 when it materialized.
