Rolling on...
This Rays team was always going to be a handful for whoever they faced in the short series of the postseason thanks to their three Cy Young candidates in the rotation and today it was
Hugo Najera's turn to dominate in what could be the capper to an incredible season as he led the Rays to an 8-1 win over the Mets and gave them a 2-0 series lead. This one was over in the 3rd when follower Bryant Salgado couldn't get the ball over the plate in the inning, walking 4 as the Rays put 5 runs on the board capped by a 2-run
Oscar Castro single. And look out Mets, you let
Kevin White get going. The 49-HR hitter had been in a deep slump and earned the snowflake next to his name before singling in the 5th inning and then belting a 3-run homer in the 7th to make the rubble bounce. Ace #3 will be going at CitiField in Game #3 as
Jaheim Lennon takes the ball to try and put this series to an early bed.
