Back at home and wins starting to pile up once again. Not sure what it is about the road games and the lack of victories, but home sweet home is where it's at. The Devil Rays returned to Holman on Monday to face the Mets for three. After a 3 hour and 36 minute marathon, Vero Beach broke a 0-0 tie with a walk off single in the bottom of the 13th for a 1-0 victory.
Now if I told you that in the first two games Vero Beach scored only two runs combined you would surely think they lost both games. Not the case. Two shutouts thanks to quality pitching not only from the starters Mann and Rollins, but the bullpen as well. Back to back 1-0 victories and the Devil Rays have improved to 6-0 on the season against the struggling Mets.
St. Lucie has now been held scoreless in 26 innings and have fallen to 8-30 on the season. Vero Beach remains in the thick of things. Just 5 games back which happens to be the total amount of wins away from Holman.
Tonight the Devil Rays go for the sweep over the Mets before heading south to face the Cardinals at Roger Dean stadium. A huge series looms, but business needs to be finished at home tonight before the focus can shift to Palm Beach.
