Rays 1 Brewers 0: Pepiot near perfect, and we needed that

It’s a sign of how poorly the Rays offense has been going that when they loaded the bases in the first inning with no one out (on a hit batter and two walks — Brewers pitcher Bryce Wilson struggled to get anything over the plate) I just assumed they wouldn’t score. They did, but in the most depressing of ways: a double play that got a run in but pretty much killed any chance at a real rally.

And...that one run was all the scoring we’d get. The Rays scattered some singles, with three of those base runners erased on the base paths (Siri caught stealing on a Brewers throw that was both good and lucky; Nico Goodrum picked off first and then thrown out at second base, Jose Caballero caught stealing in the ninth when it might have been nice to add an insurance run.
