Rays 4 Twins 2: Series Sweep

The Rays completed a sweep of the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins this afternoon behind strong pitching, sharp defense, and just enough offense.

In the first three innings, it looked like the Rays would have trouble getting on the board. Ober is a good pitcher who was on his game, not allowing a base runner for the first three innings, and frankly making Rays batters look foolish. Honestly I was wondering whether the Rays would even make solid contact.

Meanwhile, Yonny Chirinos, recently re-called from Durham, was less dominant but still largely kept the Twins from accomplishing much on offense.
