Last night was fun, huh? If you like a lack of offense and watching swinging strikes, then it was the cat's pajamas. If you, like me, are rooting for a Rays victory every night, then it wasn't the best of times.
Obviously the story of the night was the performance by Carlos Carrasco. The young right hander held the Rays hitless for 8.2 innings and was one strike away from history when Joey Butler poked a line drive just over the head of second baseman Jason Kipnis. Carrasco was perfect through 6.1 innings until Joey Butler also broke that up by drawing a rare walk.
