After fighting for their lives with 7 pitchers in Game 4, what’s Rays’ Game 5 plan?

The Tampa Bay Rays face an uncertain pitching plan for World Series Game 5 after utilizing seven pitchers during a 4-3, 12-inning win against the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4. Ben Williamson hit a walk-off single to score Nick Fortes and prevent a sweep. Rays manager Kevin Cash did not immediately name a Game 5 starter, leaving the team with an all-hands-on-deck bullpen strategy.

Key arms were heavily taxed Tuesday night at Tropicana Field, including potential Game 5 starter Nick Martinez, who pitched two scoreless relief innings. Relievers Bryan Baker, Cam Booser, and Ian Seymour also threw high-leverage frames but expressed availability for Wednesday. Tampa Bay will face Milwaukee starter Jacob Misiorowski while still trailing 3-1 in the series.
