Tampa Bay has to figure out how to contain the hitting that the Yankees brought to the next game. Granted, the Rays were able to do that in game 2 and 3, but in the 4th game the Rays pitching fell completely flat. What else did not help out is the Rays hitting did not look that impressive either.
The pitching leader for Tampa Bay in the regular season was Cody Reed for the ERA at 0.00, but he was far from a regular pitcher. The win leader for Tampa Bay was Peter Fairbanks with 6 wins. The strikeout king for the Rays was Tyler Glasnow with 91 strikeouts. Brandon Lowe was the offense for the Rays with 14 homers and 37 RBIs, but also hitting at a clip of .269.
