The New York Mets try to grab a game in this season series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays Sunday.
The Tampa Bay Rays go for the series sweep against the New York Mets in the finale on Sunday afternoon. The Mets are trying to get back to .500 with a win in the finale that has been close despite the series record. Tampa Bay has won by two runs in each of the first two games. The opener was a slugfest while we got a pitcher’s duel in Game 2 on Saturday in a 3-1 win for Tampa Bay. New York lost despite a great major-league debut by Christian Scott. The righty went 6.2 innings while only giving up one run with six strikeouts. Both teams scored a run in the first. The Rays didn’t score until the eighth inning when Adam Ottavino let up two earned runs including Pinch hitter Austin Shenton drawing a bases-loaded walk to break the tie. The Mets couldn’t generate any offense in the ninth to come back. Tampa is two games back of .500 looking to climb more out of the last spot in the AL East.
