"The dearth of effective right-handed relief, largely due to Rodney's waking up and the absence of Davis, has cost the team late in games. The 2012 Rays lost just three games they led after seven innings. They've lost eight already this year. Last year's team lost just two games they led after eight innings; this year, it's already five. That's the difference between pushing for a division title and holding on to the wild-card slot."
