Michael Brantley’s two-out, two-run double in the third gave Gerrit Cole a 2-0 lead, and based on the way he dominated the Rays in the first two innings (six up, six down, 5 Ks) it seemed possible that might be enough. But Tampa Bay got a pair of two-out run scoring singles to go up 3-2. Yandy Diaz would add a leadoff homer in the sixth, Cole’s last frame. He left having allowed four runs but otherwise been very sharp with ten strikeouts and no walks, but Houston’s offense failed to dent the scoreboard again.
