Nothing made sense about Game 1 of this series against Cleveland. The Rays Opener Diego Castillo lasted longer than one of the favorites for the 2018 Cy Young Award. The Rays knocked out Corey Kluber in the 2nd inning.
That was not supposed to happen.
And then the Rays, normally great bullpen, was not quite as sharp. Starting with the Bulk Guy Jalen Beeks. Beeker made some good pitches in key spots, but he wasn’t the normally fairly sharp pitcher we have all come to expect. It’s okay, because this Rays bullpen has been money all year.
