[The Rays] issued 12 walks, including seven in a span of 12 batters in the 9th-11th innings. Boston left the bases loaded in the ninth and eleventh, and two on in the tenth. . . .This was the longest game the Red Sox had been held scoreless since a 17-inning scoreless tie against the St. Louis Browns almost exactly 95 years ago (July 14, 1916)!It was also the longest game by time (5:44) in Rays history. . . . This was also the longest scoreless game in Rays history.
There were 39 strikeouts in today's Guardians/Rays game, a new record for a postseason game.
