[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Rays are visiting Houston today. Under the leadership of starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen's 7 innings, they won 7:3 and also won the playoff tickets.

Rasmussen had suffered a 3-game losing streak before this campaign, but now he has shown his repressive force against the AL leading Astros. He only had 7 innings in the first game and was smashed by Alex Bregman in the first game, and 4 innings by Gu. Lier (Yulieski Gurriel) knocked Ann to lose a total of 2 points.

On the other hand, Framber Valdez, the Astros pitcher who had written 25 consecutive high-quality starting games, has not recovered since the previous record was interrupted. He was knocked out 9 hits and lost 6 points in 5.1 innings. It's all self-blame.

Taylor Walls smashed the 7th inning and added insurance points for the Rays. In the 9th inning, the Astros finally counterattacked. Gullier rammed a long play with a 1-point RBI in the left field direction, but the team still ended with 4. Lost by points.

The Rays are also determined to advance to the playoffs for 4 consecutive years after winning this day. Although the Astros lost, but relying on the Yankees' loss on the same day, it is certain that they will have the best record in the American League and gain all the home field advantage before the World Series.

After the game, the official website of the major league praised the Rays: "They have no ace and star, and since the beginning of the season, core members have been absent, experienced a lot of ups and downs, and then once again relied on a group of small soldiers to spend these six months. Tenacity. The Rays made the playoffs four years in a row."

The Rays are in!!!
