If I told you that Zach Eflin pitched 7 very strong innings, and the Rays had 16 baserunners, you’d probably think the Rays had won, right?
Ah but then you haven’t met the 2024 version of the Rays.
Because these Rays only hit singles, and trying to score on just singles is like trying to save money when you only put away pennies. You can do it but it’s very hard.
Throw in a caught stealing (Randy), grounding into a double play, and actually managing to run into the path of a hit (Walls), and it’s even harder.
