Julio Teheran takes the mound for us to try and avoid the sweep. I wonder which Rays team will show up tonight...

Well, well, well, this team continues to surprise me. Just when I thought they would fold for sure, they came roaring back to an impressive victory. We had come back to tie the game after, of all things, a
Desmond Jennings home run, but the very next half-inning,
Evan Crawford broke up the bullpen's scoreless streak by allowing 2 runs, including a devastating hit batsman with the bases loaded. But we came up with one heck of a rally in the 9th - after a single and a walk,
Addison Maruszak grounded one to short that should have been a double play ball. But shortstop
Cesar Hernandez flubbed the play, and we took advantage, putting up 3 in the frame. Beleagured Philadelphia closer
Michael Stutes blew his third save in six opportunities this year.
