Tampa Bay Rays Game 38: Kevin Jepsen’s Error Haunts
The Tampa Bay Rays are now simply hoping to salvage a game in their series with the Minnesota Twins after losing 6-4 on Saturday afternoon.
The offense wasn’t so bad by Rays standards in this game. Alex Colome put them down 3-0 and failed to get out of the fourth inning, but a Logan Forsythe sac fly brought them within 3-1 in the top of the fourth before a Tim Beckham two-run homer knotted the game in the seventh. Forsythe also got the Rays a fourth run in the ninth on a solo homer. If the Rays bullpen had done well, that might have gone down as a go-ahead homer by Forsythe. Instead, the Rays bullpen got beat, and by mental mistakes as much as bad pitching.
