Oakland loaded the bases with none out in the fifth against Zach Eflin with two straight walks and Jace Peterson's single. One out later, Langeliers delivered.
Rays third baseman Isaac Paredes was ejected by plate umpire Manny Gonzalez in the sixth, apparently upset about a called strike. “This team, Tampa, is the best team in baseball. We played them early and for a lack of a better word I think we were somewhat embarrassed,” Kotsay said before the game. “But we played really bad baseball, we failed at every aspect really at Tampa, pitching and defense, situational hitting.”
