Wander Franco delivers walk off dinger after bullpen blows three-run lead in 9th
Do any Rays wins lately come without drama?
The usually-formidable bullpen crumbled in the 9th inning as Pete Fairbanks and Robert Stevenson combined to blow a three-run, come-from-behind lead in the ninth inning that forced the Rays to bat in the bottom half of then inning.
Fairbanks’ command betrayed him, walking two batters and hitting one to load the bases, and walking another to plate the second run off the frame.
Robert Stephenson then entered and threw a wild pitch to knot the score at 8-8.
