This game was probably the marquis game for all of baseball. The World Champion Astros came into Tampa Bay with a four-game winning streak. But it’s the Rays who garnered the most curiosity, coming into the series 19-3, with a 13-game home win streak.
Almost all those wins came against teams with losing records. How would the Rays stack up against real competition?
The Astros put the Rays on notice early who the World Champions are. Mauricio Dubon extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a leadoff triple. He scored on a Kyle Tucker triple followed by an Alex Bregman home run.
