Colome blows away Astros' big bats in 8th

HOUSTON -- Alex Colome brought a little something extra out of the bullpen Wednesday night in a situation where the Rays needed a lift -- the eighth inning. With Jake McGee headed to St. Petersburg, Fla., to have his left knee examined on Thursday morning, the Rays needed somebody to step up and serve as the team's setup man. Enter Colome.

While Colome got the job done, needing just 10 pitches to retire the side in the eighth, the Rays could not hold their 2-1 lead in the ninth and the game went to extra innings, where the Astros won, 3-2, in the 13th for a walk-off win on consecutive nights.
