Rays won second World Series game and tied it to 1-1

At least the Rays got one out of two possible wins at home, as the first game of the World Series was for the Phillies, and now the series is moving to Citizens Bank Park for the next 3 games.

The Rays will have some time to rest before flying to Philadelphia for game 3 which is on Saturday. Tampa Bay defeated Philly by 4-2 at Tropicana Field. Two runs in the first inning have given the advantage to both teams, Phillies on the first game and Rays on the second.

Tampa Bay scored one more in the second inning and the final run came in the fourth, while Philly scored one run in the eight inning and their last on the ninth.

James Shields is credited with the Rays victory as he didn’t allow a run in 5 and 2-thirds of work. "There's no doubt. This is the World Series. This is what we dreamed of doing as kids. And you know our crowd tonight was electric, and I mean it's exciting, it's an exciting time in our lives and we're trying to enjoy the moment." The starting pitcher said.

Shields teammates call him “Big Game James” as he’s the man who has leaded a young team to practically their best run at the MLB. At 26, James Shields is the oldest man in the rotation for the Rays.

Shields was chosen as the 466^th pick at the 2000 MLB draft and is an specialist at the strike zone.

It’s a tough task for the Rays now that they will be playing 3 straight road games, but nothing is impossible for a team that is currently at a peak performance level.

I think the Rays will beat the Phillies at their own patio and will come home with a World Series title under their arm.
