Check out the live stream of the Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays in Game 4 of the ALDS. The Rays are up against the wall, but watch to see if they can once again provide some late thunder to win and remain alive in the 2013 MLB postseason.
The Rays are a team of survival. They barely made it to the postseason as they battled by the Texas Rangers in Game 163 a week ago. The Rays then took out the Cleveland Indians in the 2013 A.L. Wild Card Game. In both games, they received great starts from their pitchers as Alex Cobb, yesterday's starter and David Price combined to get the Rays where they are right now.
The Red Sox were unable to close the door on the Rays and the ALDS. Their big boppers were held on check and their closer faltered, surrendering a home run to Jose Lobaton, a bench player and backup catcher.
The Rays would love to give David Price another start in this series, though he was bombarded by Boston in Game 2. However, third-year pitcher, Jeremy Hellickson will take the mound and he will have to pitch well in order to get the Rays into Game 5.
Jake Peavy will be making the biggest start of his career as he has a chance to get his new ball club into the ALCS as the Red Sox are making a charge at the Commissioner's Trophy. The last time they won the World Series, it was 2007. The Rays are a team that has been in the postseason regularly in the past couple of years, but they are still searching for their first championship.
Peavy has pitched in the postseason before, but he has been mistreated. IN 2005 and 2006, the Padres ran into a red hot St. Louis Cardinals team, both times in the NLDS and Peavy lost both games, surrendering 13 earned runs in 9.2 innings pitched. Hellickson has not had great success in the playoffs either. In the same year he was named Rookie of the Year, 2011, Hellickson made one start in the ALDS against the Rangers and surrendered three earned runs in just four innings pitched.
Which of these pitchers will surface as the better starter? Look out for both offenses as they might be the story of the evening.
