For the first time since April 19, the Tampa Bay Rays have won a home game. <\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t come without any drama, however. <\/p>\n
Although the Rays went 0-11 with runners in scoring position on the evening, the Flappy Boys found a way with the penultimate run coming by way of a bases loaded Taylor Walls walk in the bottom of the eighth. <\/p>\n
In the top of the first, Milwaukee jolted ahead 1-0 as William Contreras drove in Jackson Chourio. <\/p>\n
In the bottom of the third, Chourio misplayed a Jose Caballero single, which turned into a two-base error to plate Walls all the way from first base. Knotted at 1. <\/p>\n
In the top of the fourth, the Brewers would reclaim the lead from a Caleb Durbin RBI groundout. <\/p>\n
However, in the bottom half of the frame, the \u201cDawg\u201d had his day, as Brandon Lowe took lefty Jose Quintana deep for the equalizer. 2-2. <\/p>\n
In the sixth, Tampa Bay caught a break as Junior Caminero attempted to steal second base, stopped halfway, and Christopher Morel was thrown out retreating to third base \u2014 or so we thought. <\/p>\n
Third base umpire James Hoye ruled obstruction, which allowed Morel to score, and we got an all-time ejection from Brewers manager Pat Murphy. <\/p>\n
The run proved to be crucial as the Rays pulled out a one-run contest by the score of 4-3, and tomorrow\u2019s probables are Taj Bradley opposite Tobias Myers, respectively. The Saturday matinee start time is scheduled for 4:10 PM EST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the first time since April 19, the Tampa Bay Rays have won a home game.
