ST. PETERSBURG (SNN-TV) – Despite losing earlier today to the Red Sox 6-3, and dropping 9 of their last 11 games to end the season, the Rays could officially start making plans for a postseason date with the AL Central champion Cleveland Guardians.
Seattle’s wild 7-6, 10-inning win last night over Detroit, put an end to the AL Wild Card uncertainty, as the Rays will be the league’s No. 6 seed, and will head to Progressive Field for a best-of-three Wild Card Series against the Guardians beginning Friday.
First pitch for Friday’s game is scheduled for 12:07 p.m. and will air on ESPN. Saturday’s game is scheduled to start at 12:07 p.m. and will air on ESPN 2. If a game three is necessary, ESPN will air Sunday’s game at 4:07 p.m.
