Rays Narrowly Avoid Elimination, Consider Drew Rasmussen for Game 5
The Tampa Bay Rays managed to stay in the World Series by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in a thrilling Game 4, cutting the series deficit to 3-1. The game went into extra innings, with the Rays rallying in the 12th inning after trailing 3-2.
In the decisive inning, an error by Brewers third baseman Joey Ortiz allowed Junior Caminero to reach base. After a series of hits, including a single from Ben Williamson that scored the winning run, the Rays secured their victory. Manager Kevin Cash noted the team's resilience, reflecting on their history of come-from-behind wins during the regular season.
Looking ahead, the Rays have not confirmed their starting pitcher for Game 5, but Drew Rasmussen expressed confidence in his readiness to pitch. He acknowledged the need for the team to play clean baseball to continue their comeback efforts, drawing inspiration from the 2004 Red Sox, who famously overcame a 3-0 series deficit.
