Tampa Bay’s 2-1 win to start the series showed off the Rays' strengths - mainly, their dominant bullpen. Here are three reasons the Astros couldn’t get the win in Game 1. The Astros again had two runners on in the 6th inning, but weren’t able to drive in a run. The rookie has been the Rays best hitter in the playoffs. The Rays got the leadoff man on in four of eight innings, and the Astros were lucky to hold the Rays to just 1 run in those situations.
