Moving along...

It was a tight, tense one but the Rays are advancing to the ALDS after dispatching the Rangers 4-1 today and 3-1 in the series. Fernando Tatis Jr. was a poor 1 for 13 in this series before coming through with a big RBI single which plated the first run of the game in the top of the 8th but Emmanuel Clase once again faltered against the first man he faced, giving up an RBI single to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to let Texas tie in the bottom of the inning. Then came the 9th and the sudden wildness of Texas closer Eric Kinney. He hit Ben Schmidt and walked Owen Paino but got the second out, only to walk Edgar Quezada to load the bases and hit Chris Crisp to force in the go-ahead run. He then walked Pete Anderson and Tatis to force in two more runs and that was that. The AI left him on in the red to throw 57 pitches as the Texas pan must have been completely burned out because they finally brought on scheduled Game 5 starter Paul Skenes to come in and get the final out. Clase held on in the bottom of the frame and the Rays now will face either Seattle or Chicago.

And we don't know which one we'll face yet as the White Sox forced a Game 5 in Seattle:
