The Tampa Bay Rays suffered a 3-2 defeat in Game 1 of the World Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. However, the Rays bounced back with a late rally in the ninth inning and two runners on base when their comeback attempt ended. Following the loss, Rays left fielder Chandler Simpson positively assessed his team's performance on the road.
Speaking with Fox Sports' Tom Verducci, Simpson stated, "We responded very well." He acknowledged that it was the first time the Rays faced such conditions and had dealt with a tough first inning. Simpson further explained their strategy for the next games, saying they aimed to make things happen on the base paths and make the pitcher uncomfortable.
They were fortunate to be unlucky in the previous game and need to pick their spots better. The Rays have set their sights on squaring the series with their starting pitcher, Drew Rasmussen, set to take the mound in Games 3, 4, and 5, which will be played at the Tropicana Dome.
