ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- When Tampa Bay's bats aren't connecting, the margin of error is slim enough that the Rays' success and failure can be as close as whether they make the right calls in sending runners from third base.
As they continue a three-game home series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday, they'll look to rebound from a tough 2-0 loss that saw missed opportunities early and a key out at the plate late.
One night after aggressive baserunning helped them rally for a 5-3 win at Houston, the Rays opted not send a runner from third on a one-out line drive to shallow center in the third.
