Didn’t need all that drama, but after blowing a four-run lead the Rays beat the Guardians for us on Friday night. 

Heading back to Tropicana Field on Sunday, and Cleveland’s sensational rookie Tanner Bibee hasn’t lost since June 13, which was 10 starts ago.

Bibee shut out the Blue Jays for seven innings in his last start.

The Rays counter with Zach Eflin, who has allowed just one run in his last 13 innings. 

Eflin is a control freak, having walked just two batters in his last 46 innings. 

But Mrs. Stitches put a copy of Steve Cohen’s form letter in front of me, and we played the Astros, who clipped the Angels, 11-3. 

J.P. “Vive La” France went seven for the W, trimming our losses to -860 bagwells.

Zach Eflin, a strike thrower, will lead the Rays past the visiting Guardians on Sunday, Stitches predicts.{ai:summary}<p>The Rays won against the Guardians despite a blown lead, and they are heading back to Tropicana Field to face a talented rookie. #sports</p><p>The Braves had a massive victory over the Mets, and though I almost bet on the other team, we played the Astros instead and had some success. #sports</p>
