The 2018 Rays are a team that seems to be scuffling for every run and every win. The one run wins, the one run losses. If there is a heartbreaking way to lose a close game, we’ve seen it.
But every once in a while we see games like tonight’s, where everything clicks and the team wins what feels like a no doubter.
The Rays, those nontraditionalists, went through four pitchers and nearly all were very sharp. The Yankees, those traditionalists, went through four pitchers, two of which were not very sharp.
The Rays had men on base in seven out of the nine innings.
