The left-hander struck out six and not using a stroll and induced 17 swinging strikes.
But Houston scored within the first after Jose Altuve’s leadoff triple, and José Abreu hammered a 1-0 curveball to left for a two-run homer within the fourth. The Rays determined McClanahan was carried out after 5 regardless of throwing solely 86 pitches, so he left with the sport tied.

Tampa Bay’s bullpen put up zeros the remainder of the way in which, with Robert Stephenson, Kevin Kelly, Colin Poche and Pete Fairbanks every pitching an inning. That set the stage for the Rays’ ultimate rally.
Siri, acquired from Houston almost a 12 months in the past, pulled Pressly’s low curveball to left area and dashed to get himself in scoring place.
“That’s what he can do,” supervisor Kevin Cash stated. “He can change the game with his speed, and certainly impacted it right there.”
Up got here Bethancourt, initially dead-set on bunting Siri to 3rd till he took one pitch for a referred to as strike and fouled off anotheron a bunt try. Bethancourt took the subsequent two pitches, each sliders within the filth, however stated he heard Cash yelling from the dugout.
“So I was like, ‘Just get the ball the other way. Do whatever you can,’” Bethancourt stated. “I was just trying everything I could to get the ball to the other side of the field. … I told myself that if I don’t do it, I’m not going to eat today to punish myself.”
But Bethancourt bought to take pleasure in his postgame meal, in spite of everything, as he swatted a 2-2 slider to proper area that allowed Siri to scamper to 3rd.
“That was a big at-bat,” Cash stated.
“Honestly,” Lowe added. “Extremely impressive.”
That introduced up Díaz, the Rays’ steadiest producer amid a team-wide hunch and the right hitter to have on the plate after they wanted a ball in play.
Sure sufficient, the leadoff man — again within the lineup whereas nonetheless nursing a sore groin — launched an 0-1 fastball deep sufficient to proper to drive in Siri.
“You get Siri on third base and Yandy up, you just kind of let out a sigh of relief,” Lowe stated. “Like, ‘OK, something good is going to happen here.’”
