MLB Playoffs: Rays Bats Come To Life As Tampa Bay Avoids Sweep

At Arlington, Texas:

The Tampa Bay Rays, five outs away from elimination, scored twice in the eighth inning and thrice more in the ninth as they defeated the Texas Rangers 6-3 in game three of their American League divisional playoff series on Saturday to force a fourth game, to be played on Sunday.  The Rangers still lead the series two games to one.  John Jaso lined a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning after Carlos Pena had already delivered a clutch hit for the Rays.  The Rangers still have not yet won a home playoff game.
