Texas afraid absolutely a few bodies as they won both amateur in Tampa Bay to booty a 2-0 alternation advance abaft solid performances from both Cliff Lee and C.J. Wilson. The Rangers accept now outscored the Rays 11-1 in the series. Colby Lewis will try to abide to accumulate the Rays bats quiet as he gets the alpha in Bold 3. Lewis had an amplitude area he was disturbing to win amateur appear the end of the season, but he angry it about in the actual aftermost month. In his aftermost bristles starts, Lewis accustomed no added than two runs in a bold as he went 3-1 in those bristles games. One absolute for the Rangers is the actuality that the Rays accept yet to face Colby Lewis. In the aboriginal two amateur the Rangers hit rather well, accepting home runs from Nelson Cruz, Ian Kinsler, Michael Young and Bengie Molina. Josh Hamilton and Vlad Guerrero, the team’s top two hitters in the approved division accept been captivated to an accumulated one rbi in the aboriginal two games. Michael Young leads the way with 3 rbi.
The Rays accept to be disappointed, not alone by actuality bottomward 0-2 in the series, but the actuality that they accept not alike been competitive. They were captivated to aloof one run in the two amateur that were played in Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay will try to survive to comedy addition bold today as Matt Garza will try to accumulate his aggregation from accepting swept. Garza comes in off an appealing bad September, activity 2-3 with a 5.88 Era in six starts. In two starts this division adjoin the Rangers, Garza went 2-0 and accustomed four runs in 12.2 innings. In the alpha at Texas he accustomed no runs in seven innings. Offensively, there has not been abundant to agenda appropriately far in the series. Ben Zobrist accounts for the Rays alone run with an abandoned home run in Bold 1. As an aggregation they are hitting aloof .125 and accept addled out 23 times. If the Rays appetite to accept any adventitious of advancing aback in this series, Evan Longoria, Carl Crawford and B.J. Upton will accept to acquisition a way to footfall it up. The three were accumulated to aloof two hits in the aboriginal two games.
It is do or die for the Rays and the burden will be on Matt Garza. I alone anticipation Garza should accept started in Bold 2, but that is not the case. He had success adjoin the Rangers on the alley beforehand in the division so it may assignment out able-bodied for the Rays. It won’t amount if the Rays bats don’t calefaction up. They accept yet to face Colby Lewis so it may not be easy. I would be afraid if Tampa gets swept in this series, but they accept apparent no activity whatsoever so far. They are accepting appealing acceptable allowance in this bold and I feel their aces of a baby bet with Garza pitching. Watch Texas Rangers Vs. Tampa Bay Rays Live Online Give it a try >>>
