Rays 1 Phillies 2: The bullpen is great, until it’s not

The Rays lost a close one to the Phillies tonight, losing on a bases loaded walk off single.

This was a classic low-scoring game. Rays pitchers Sulser and Alexander kept the Phillies hitless until the 6th inning, when Kyle Schwarber does what he always does, which is to hit the ball out of the park. His solo home run put the Phillies up 1-0.

The Rays seemed to be going quietly into the evening until the 9th, when Brandon Lowe, sore finger and all, tied the game:
