Using only current #MLB teams, Robbie Ray is the only pitcher to make a start vs. a team with the same name as his surname (today; June 6, 2016). 4 others have made relief apps: Chris Ray (last: 2011), Billy Brewer (last: 1999), Jim Brewer (last: 1976) and Conrad Cardinal (1963).

Just hope this isnt the start of the dreaded downfall. Need a win here to get things back on track, or to get rid of the Archie downer.

And so, the question is answered. With Yuan Lopez replacing Yoshi pitching the 7th,
who will replace Archie pitching the 8th? Lopez stays in.

And the first two batters in the 8th get on, after a 1-2-3 7th.. Tying runs on base and
lead run at the plate with no one out.

We need a permanent solution for replacing two late inning relievers who failed.

Escobar blows a play at 3B and a run scores. Yuan is out.

And Yoshi comes in with no one out, having given up 3 runs and 4 hits yesterday.

And hits a batter to load the bases.

Whew, a force out at home plate.

And McFarland, the lefty, replaces Yoshi
and gets a strike out on all fastballs.

3-0 count on the next batter with the
bases loaded. Tying run on 3B. Then
3-and-2.

And a line drive behind the 2B bag.
Bases left loaded.

Our band-aid relievers are working,
so far.

Rays tie the game with 2 outs in the 9th.

And the potential winning run is thrown out
at the plate. The dispute is denied and it is
extra innings.

The D-backs bullpen blows it.

Why did Holland pitch to the batter like that when he was up 0-2 on him.

Holland blows the save. And Archie throws good innings.

(With all fast balls except one curve in two scoreless innings.)

There's a switch. But not enough to have hope for the future yet.

Until now. Runners on 1st & 2nd with no one out.

Then a double play and the go-ahead run is on 3B
with two outs.

Flores singles in Escobar with the go-ahead run.

Runners on 1st & 3rd with two outs.

And Ahmed is caught looking.

Godley is pitching. :eek:
