The Rays fell behind in the second inning of Game 4 and never caught up after rookie opener Ryan Thompson gave up two hits, three walks and two runs over 1 2/3 innings in just his second career start. Happ both got tagged, the Rays are probably wishing they had simply allowed Ryan Yarbrough to start instead of opening with Thompson, a 28-year-old right-handed reliever appearing in his third career playoff game. “I know the strike-throwing kind of eluded him.” The Rays announced after that Glasnow — who struck out 10 Yankees on Tuesday — would start again Friday, and he's expected to face New York's Game 1 starter Gerrit Cole in a rematch of last year's ALDS Game 5 between Houston and Tampa Bay. “I was just staying ready, and whenever they called my name, I was good to go.” A two-run deficit didn't seem like much against Tampa Bay's powerful lineup, but New York's four pitchers were all tremendously effective.
