Tampa Bay Sweeps into the Division Series
|
The Tampa Bay Rays proved to be too much to handle for the Houston Astros in the Wild Card Game, and a sweep was the end result.
Tampa Bay punched its ticket to the Division Series on the strength of a 4-3 win in the deciding game, which wrapped up the series 2-0.
Tampa Bay third baseman Rafael Devers, named series MVP, was instrumental in the sweep, as he mashed Houston pitching to the tune of a .429 average, with a .500 on-base percentage. He had 1 home runs, drove in 3 RBI and scored 2 runs.
The Tampa Bay Rays will play against the Oakland Athletics in the next round. Oakland had a bye in the Wild Card Game. The Division Series is scheduled to begin on October 6th , 2023.
