The Rays had to settle for a series win rather than a series sweep today.
The game got off to an unfortunate start, as Zach Eflin, who doesn’t give up a lot of home runs, gave up a solo shot to Andres Gimenez, who does not hit a lot of home runs. That was the only run Cleveland scored that inning, but Eflin labored to get outs and it didn’t look good. If this were a movie rather than a baseball game, ominous music might have been playing.
But really I should not have fretted about that solo home run.
