The Tampa Bay Rays destroy the Houston Astros 16-3. After the Rays offense was a no show last night they bounced back in a big way. It started with a Yandy Diaz Home Run in the 3rd inning that made the score 3-1. Then after the Astros tied it, Junior Caminero hit one of his two huge home runs to make it 4-3. The Rays would then score a combined 9 runs in the 7th and 8th innings to make the score 14-3. In those innings Jake Mangum, Josh Lowe, and Junior Caminero all homered. This offense has now scored 30 runs in 3 games this series. Masked behind the offense was Zack Littell throwing the first complete game by a Rays pitcher since June 3, 2021. The Rays will go for the series win tomorrow afternoon. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Wonderful Pistachios Looking for a snack that’s both delicious and nutritious?
