Tuesday night’s National League Wild Card game was thrilling in a way only non-scripted events can be. The Milwaukee Brewers seemed poised to head to the NLDS, with the Nationals trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the eighth. The Nationals won on a tremendous hit from young Juan Soto and a collective gasp of excitement echoed across Twitter.
Rays fans are likely hoping for a little less stress and a more clear cut early lead, but regardless of what happens in Wednesday’s Wild Card matchup between the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland Athletics at the Oakland Coliseum, the stakes are high.
