Background
The coverage concerns a postseason (or otherwise critical) Game 5 in which the Tampa Bay Rays are facing a must‑win situation. A “two‑run triple” means the batter hit the ball and safely reached third base while two teammates scored; a “single” is a hit that allows the batter to reach first base.
