Rays Blog

The Tampa Bay Rays magic season will continue today as they look to sweep the Chicago White Sox out of the ALDS.

The Rays won game one 6-4 behind James Shields and game two 6-2 behind Scott Kazmir.  Kazmir struggled early in game two, but hung in there and helped get his club the win.

Evan Longoria homered twice in game one as he helped pick up the slack for the missing Carlos Pena.  Pena got scratched in the second inning of game one and hasn’t played since.  The club is hopeful that he will be able to play today as the series moves to Chicago.

Starting for the Rays today will be Matt Garza.  Starting for the Sox is John Danks.  Game time is 4:07pm.
