Rays 0 Marlins 3: Rays can’t solve this Riddle

At least this game was quick. After a mini-marathon 10 inning game on Monday and a full-on marathon 16 inning game on Tuesday, playing just 9 innings and getting it done in under two and a half hours seemed merciful.

Maybe the Rays were tired, maybe José Ureña, Drew Rucinski, Elieser Hernandez and Brad Ziegler are elite pitchers, whatever it was the Rays offense was dead. They managed four hits (just one, a double, for extra bases) and four walks, but these were spread out across the nine innings. Also, three double plays of various stripes and a caught stealing eliminated several of these base runners.
