The Rays completed a three game sweep of the Mets today, with a no-doubt 7-1 win.
This game at first had the makings of a pitchers duel between two quick-working, pitch-to-contact throwers.
The teams traded zeros for three innings as Stroman and Fleming scattered a few hits. But the Rays batters caught up to Stroman in the fourth inning.
Ji-Man Choi, who celebrated his return to the lineup with a three-hit day, singled and was driven in on Manuel Margot’s two-run homer. Rays up, 2-0.
The Rays doubled that lead in the fifth inning. Francisco Mejia, also just returned from the IL, was hit by a pitch.
