None of Rays' best relievers pitched in Game 1 -- and that could be a good thing
MILWAUKEE -- When the bullpen door swung open at American Family Field on Friday night, the best the Brewers had to offer came trotting out. When Jacob Misiorowski exited the game with a lead after five innings, they turned to Abner Uribe for four outs, Aaron Ashby for five and The Rays lost 3-2 to the Brewers in Game 1 of the World Series, with no of their top relievers participating in the game. Instead, they used Abner Uribe, Aaron Ashby, and Trevor Megill for the last three outs. Manager Kevin Cash did not attempt to chase a deficit, even a narrow one, with top lefty Cam Booser, Tyler Wells or closer Bryan Baker. The Rays' high-leverage arm, DL Hall, warmed up to face a potential left-handed pinch-hitter but never got in the match. The team's performance was praised by Cash, who believes that exposing certain relievers to the same hitters multiple times could benefit them moving forward.
