The Rays were on their way to beating the Oakland A’s tonight behind a strong start from Drew Smyly and just enough hitting. Then the 9th inning happened, and Oakland scored three on two homers off Alex Colome, allowing Oakland to walk it off.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Smyly battled through a tough 29 pitch first inning. He was touched for two hits and a walk, as well as the only run charged to him on a single by Khris Davis with runners on first and second.
