Rays rout Indians in AL wildcard game
Print Edition
The Tampa Bay Rays pitched their way to another must-win game on the road, beating the Cleveland Indians 4-0 on Wednesday in the American League wildcard playoff game.
Alex Cobb, who missed a chunk of the regular season after he was hit in the head by a line drive, quieted a thundering Cleveland crowd by keeping the Indians scoreless through seven innings on the mound.
Delmon Young homered in the third inning for the Rays, who were playing in their third city in the last four days. Tampa Bay advanced to face the AL East champion Boston Red Sox in the division series starting today.
Cobb’s comeback in August from his frightening injury helped stabilize the Rays, who have spent the past two weeks winning crucial games to make the playoffs for the fourth time in six years.
Cobb suffered a concussion on June 15 when he was struck in the right ear by a ball hit by Kansas City’s Eric Hosmer. On Tuesday, he recalled lying on his sofa and wondering if he would be able to help the Rays contend for a playoff spot. He didn’t want a repeat of 2011, when he couldn’t pitch in the playoffs after undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot.
