We'll be playing in Tampa...
The Isotopes got the two-out hit in the 9th when they needed it and the Rays didn't, and that was the difference today as Pittsburgh evened up the series at 2 after a 4-3 walk-off win. In the top of the inning Aaron White stole second and went to third on the bad throw, but Paul Mayes (who had earlier got the Rays back into the game with a 2-run homer) flew out to center while in the bottom of the inning Jake Cid (appearing once again) gave up a 2-out single then a double down the line to lose it. The choice of Jorge Barraza was a disaster as he gave up 3 runs without recording an out to start the game but the bullpen was heroic after that, shutting down Pittsburgh until they scored off Cid in the 9th. So at least we'll have our ace Dave Rose going tomorrow and hopefully he'll pitch better than he did in Game 1, but this series is now going at least 6 games and given how close all 4 games have been so far a 7-gamer wouldn't surprise me.
