Game Preview
The Tampa Bay Rays will need to locate their offense — and their defense, for that matter — if they wish to avert a second sweep in as many years in the American League wild-card series.
Tampa Bay mustered just one run in 24 innings during last year’s wild-card series against the Cleveland Guardians.
After being shut out in the series opener on Tuesday, the fourth-seeded Rays will host the fifth-seeded Texas Rangers on Wednesday afternoon for Game 2 of their best-of-three series in St. Petersburg, Fla.
