Rays Edge Astros 1-0 for Series Win
The Tampa Bay Rays secured a narrow 1-0 victory against the Houston Astros, thanks to a stellar pitching performance that featured contributions from Tyler Alexander and four other relievers, who limited the Astros to only three hits. Brandon Lowe's RBI double in the third inning proved to be the game-winning hit, while Alexander struck out five batters in his 4 1/3 innings of relief after opener Hunter Bigge faced early trouble. The Rays' bullpen has now achieved eight shutouts this season, underscoring their effectiveness as they contend for a playoff spot with a strong post-All-Star break ERA of 2.85. Despite their pitching success, the Rays' offense remains a concern, managing just six hits in the game. Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high 12 batters but was unable to secure a win as the team struggles offensively, having scored only one run in their last 18 innings. The win marks the Rays' 11th consecutive victory in rubber matches, showcasing their resilience and depth following key trades at the deadline.
