Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena made all kinds of history last postseason. ![]() It should be pointed out that the Red Sox did load the bases in the eighth for Rafael Devers, but he struck out and then Hunter Renfroe popped out to end the inning. Some of that is Rays defensive positioning, but some of it is just bad fortune. They only struck out five times all game and didn't score. They are crushing the ball right at defenders, seemingly all night. Next inning they had three 98-plus groundouts. The second inning was particularly rough with a 102.5-mph Alex Verdugo shot being a fielder's choice (though he reached on an error) and 105.3 mpg off the bat of Bobby Dalbec being a double play. They had nine hits, but they had 16 hard hit balls, or those with 95 miles per hour or higher in exit velocity. If you are a Red Sox fan, you've probably had a rough night of screaming obscenities over how many times they crushed the ball right at a Rays defender. Owen Miller extended his on-base streak to 20 consecutive games with an infield single to open the eighth, stole second and advanced to third on a groundout by Christian Yelich.īut he was ultimately stranded as with two outs Adames waved at a pitch way out of the zone from Jason Adam for Strike 3.Nelson Cruz just hit a ball off of the catwalk and it was ruled a home run □ /6RNSu3pftE- FOX Sports: MLB OctoThe Red Sox hit the ball hard with no results to show for it Milwaukee sandwiched a pair of singles around a flyout in the seventh only to see McClanahan buckle down to strike out Taylor and Joey Wiemer to finish his night. The six innings were his most since last Sept. Houser retired the final seven batters he faced and departed having allowed four hits - all singles - and a walk with four strikeouts while throwing 84 pitches over six innings. He generated 10 ground-ball outs and also got some help from the Rays when over-aggressive baserunning led to an inning-ending double play in the third and a successful replay challenge by manager Craig Counsell to an out at third in the fourth. Taylor was robbed of potential extra bases by Jose Siri on a nice running, leaping grab in center in the fifth, then after Contreras doubled with one out in the sixth he was stranded.Īdrian Houser was up to the challenge, however, as his effort nearly mirrored McClanahan's. Two of those came in succession to open the second as Adames and Darin Ruf both singled but one batter later Adames was thrown out trying to tag and advance to third on a routine fly ball to right by Brian Anderson. That the Brewers offense would have had issues in this one wasn't in the least bit surprising considering its ongoing struggles against left-handed starters and the fact one of the best in the American League in Shane McClanahan – 7-0 with a 2.34 ERA coming in – was on the mound.Īnd true to form Milwaukee managed only four hits against him over the first six innings. Taylor then squibbed one in front of the plate and was thrown out at first to end it. Rowdy Tellez came off the bench and struck out and with Tyrone Taylor at the plate Pete Fairbanks unleashed a wild pitch that allowed Turang to move up to third. Jesse Winker led off the ninth with a pinch single and with one out Brice Turang stole second as a pinch-runner. 9 hitter, lifted a sacrifice fly to left to score Raley. ![]() Tampa Bay wasted no time taking advantage as Francisco Mejia, the No. He eventually stole second and advanced to third when the throw down by William Contreras got past Willy Adames and into center field. Strzelecki (2-3), the third pitcher to see action for Milwaukee, opened his outing by plunking Luke Raley with a pitch. Peter Strzelecki hit the leadoff batter in the fateful frame and two batters later he crossed the plate as the lone tally to finish off the Brewers' second consecutive shutout loss.įacing tremendous pitching, Milwaukee's offense saw its scoreless streak run to 21 consecutive innings and in the last four games, the Brewers have scored a total of four runs.Ī scoreless deadlock ended in the eighth.
