The Astros bullpen is up. Maybe the #Rays can drum up something in their final 6 outs?
— Dan Lucas (@WFLADan) October 4, 2019

Absolute worst case scenario for #Rays in the 5th. Brandon Lowe can't catch a high pop-up to get out of the inning. Two runs are in and it's now 4-0. Against Justin Verlander.
— Dan Lucas (@WFLADan) October 4, 2019

And now #Rays Brendan McKay is greeted by a single and double. The Astros are sensing blood here with just one out in the bottom of the 5th.
— Dan Lucas (@WFLADan) October 4, 2019

If 0-0 seemed tough, the #Rays now have 12 outs to try and figure out Justin Verlander.

Insanity has erupted inside Minute Maid as Jose Altuve finally breaks a scoreless tie. A 2-run smash that is Tyler Glasnow’s last hitter of the day. pic.twitter.com/XkKR7j3Bhd

Welp, #Rays Kevin Kiermaier gave Verlander quite a battle in that at bat but the result is an inning-ending strikeout.
— Dan Lucas (@WFLADan) October 4, 2019

The #Rays finally have a hit off Verlander! Brandon Lowe with a single.

ZERO DOUBT! Rays get out of the jam! @RaysBaseball #RaysUp #Rays #StayHungry https://t.co/lB9DzVaSez pic.twitter.com/As4r4QLz2S

Clutch strikeout when Glasgow needed it and the #Rays escape another jam in the 3rd. 0-0 here in Houston.
— Dan Lucas (@WFLADan) October 4, 2019

#Rays Tyler Glasnow is hanging in there and competing with this Astros lineup. A hard hit liner became the 3rd out for the Astros with two runners on. On the other side, Verlander is dealing.

At 2:05pm, our Rays take on the Astros and I encourage all of you, as work permits, to find an opportunity to see the game at the nearest TV. If @RaysBaseball works as hard as all of you do, they are bound to win! pic.twitter.com/pqRXHutnzS
