The Rays sure did end August in style. They know every game counts right now, and in spite of an early lead from the Indians, the team hustled to head into September with a heck of an outing.
Diego Castillo opened the game and it was a somewhat rough inning and a third, giving up a two-run homer to Carlos Santana that scored Santana and Mercado. The pitching platoon was handed over to Jalen Beeks in the second, ostensibly for him to be the bulk guy, but he carried about as much bulk as pre-super serum Steve Rogers.
