Rays: 1, Astros: 6 - Rays’ magical ride ends at the hands of Gerrit Cole

Win or go home. Game 5. Surprisingly I’m not stressed out. That is probably going to change.

Let’s GO!

Cole started the Rays out with two strikeouts of Meadows and Pham, but fan favorite Ji-Man Choi worked a full count walk to give the Rays their first baserunner, but Travis d’Arnaud would fly out to end the 1st inning. Still the Rays worked Cole to about 20 pitches

Glasnow didn’t have quite the great start as Cole did, giving up a leadoff single to George Springer, and another single by Michael Brantley, and ANOTHER single by Jose Altuve, on a pitch outsize the strike zone, put the Rays and Glasnow in early trouble.
