There\u2019s no way to sugarcoat it. The Rays bullpen is struggling mightily as of late. <\/p>\n
Ryan Pepiot delivered, tossing six innings of two-run baseball while striking out six to keep Tampa Bay in the fight. <\/p>\n
Or so we thought. <\/p>\n
Edwin Uceta came in relief in the seventh, and with two outs and a runner on third base, Colt Keith delivered the proverbial dagger into the Rays\u2019 eighth loss in their last 11 games. <\/p>\n
Jonathan Aranda got the scoring going as he homered in the first inning to give the Rays a 1-0 lead. <\/p>\n
The other Rays run came via Josh Lowe, as he singled in Aranda to extend the lead at two in the third. <\/p>\n
The Tigers would score four unanswered runs from a Spencer Torkelson home run, the Keith home run, and a Keith RBI single. <\/p>\n
Tomorrow\u2019s start for the getaway day of the series was pushed back to 5:10 PM in anticipation of inclement weather. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s no way to sugarcoat it.
