Randy Arozarena hit a solo home run and scored on a straight steal of home, Shane McClanahan tossed five scoreless innings and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Boston Red Sox 5-0 in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Thursday in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Arozarena, who was 1-for-2 with two walks and three runs scored, became the first player in postseason history to record a home run and a steal of home in the same game.
"I just focus a little bit more," Arozarena said through an interpreter in his postgame interview with FS1. "I'm always ready, regardless if I'm starting the game or if I'm not. I come out here ready to work and I sacrifice everything to be ready to go. Luckily it's happening in October when it means it's closer to the World Series."
