St. Petersburg, FL. -- A five-spot will leave a mark.
Wednesday night, the five-spot the Indians posted in the seventh left a mark on the Rays as pronounced as the one left on your car's rear bumper the time you backed into a shopping cart. While the mark is bad, the frustration of having backed into a shopping cart is worse.
Yes, as the 15,143 watching at Tropicana Field could attest, the Rays' 10-6 loss to the Indians was just that frustrating. They have now won just seven of their last 20 games while falling to 47-45 on the season.
