Jonathan Aranda became the 2nd player in Rays franchise history to record at least three hits and a walk in a World Series game. Randy Arozarena did it on October 24th, 2020. Tough loss tonight but he’s been swinging the bat well over the last four games.

Rays lose Game 1 in nail-biting fashion. The good news is they have the best starting pitcher of the postseason on the mound tomorrow and the rested A bullpen. The difference tonight was the Rays beating themselves.

The call at first has been overturned, and it's now a 3-2 game with Jonny DeLuca up.

Nick Martinez in Game 1 of the World Series: 5 IP | 5 H | 2 ER | 0 BB | 5 K | 10 Whiffs He got at least one swing-and-miss on 4 of his 5 offerings, and his velocity was up, sitting at 94 mph on his sinker and four-seam.
