Rays Edge Brewers in Ninth

On March 31st, Tampa Bay Rays just snatched a tight 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers thanks to Nick Fortis slapping a tie-breaking double.

In the ninth off Trevor McGill, that hit scored Johnny DeLuca after a walk, flipping the game just when Milwaukee thought they had it locked.

All the runs before that drama came from Big Bombs. Yendi Diaz kicked it off with a lead-off homer in the first, staying hot at 12 for 20 on the year.

William Contreras answered with a 415-foot shot in the sixth for Milwaukee, then DeLuca tied it up in the seventh with a 400, 38-footer.

Brewers were cruising after sweeping Chicago 3 games to start the season, but this drops their first L.

Both starters shown in new digs, Nick. Martinez went six innings for the Rays, giving up two runs, while Kyle Harrison fanned 8-5 for Milwaukee.

Ninth was wild, Ian Seymour hit the lead-off guy but shut down the next two, and Kevin Kelly nabbed his first save on a ground out.

Garrett Clevenger struck out Gary Sanchez to escape a jam in the eighth for the win.

Heads up for Tuesday, Rays bring back Shane McClanahan from injuries for his first start since August 2023, facing Milwaukee's Brandon.

Woodruff, who's 7-2 with a 3.20 ERA this year, balls rolling strong.
