What drama...
Rookie Henry Dominguez will now always get to say he hit a walk-off homer in the World Series as the rookie's 2-run blast in the bottom of the gave the Rays the most dramatic of wins over Pittsburgh 6-4 to take a 1-0 lead. Tampa Bay had to overcome a rare off night from Dave Rose, who had issues with both his command and the longball, putting his team in a 3-0 hole. For a little while it looked like the Game 1 narrative would be Kang Cheol-Lee's revenge as the Rays' 3B to start the season before being dealt singled in a run and homered off Rose. But the Rays responded with a 4-run 4th highlighted by Dantel Chinchilla's bases-clearing double and although Pittsburgh got another round-tripper off Rose to tie it, Dominguez made sure that would all be academic. Steve Swords will go in Game 2 tomorrow.
