The Rays scored six runs in their win over the Guardians today. Every one of them came with two outs, and all but one — the final dagger in the bottom of the eighth — was an extra-base hit. That ended up being the difference as Cleveland’s comeback attempt failed and they lost, 6-4.
Honestly, the game could have been a lot worse. Corey Kluber came out absolutely on fire, and with some of the wildest horizontal movement you’ll ever see from a starting pitcher. His curveball, as Baseball Savant categorizes it, was moving like a slider out there, and caught more than one batter looking as it started well in the right-handed batter’s box and moved back in to back-door helpless lefties.
