Coming into this Sunday matchup the Rays were playing with house money. Already securing the series split on the road vs a good Astros team in Houston. After they were able to get to Hunter Brown back in Tampa under a sweltering sun, the young Cy Young candidate was not going to be an easy task to topple twice.
And well, Brown was...good is a strong word. How about Brown was effectively wild?
At one point Brown had thrown 40 strikes and 40 balls. His command was all over the place. But his stuff was effective enough to still be hard to hit.
