    ATLANTA — Carrying over momentum from game to game — and series to series — is typically considered to be dependent on the opposing starting pitcher.

    Friday, they Rays were foiled by their own.

    After a pair of comeback wins over the Cubs, and with a near miss in between, the Rays rolled into Atlanta facing Braves ace Chris Sale and packaged two hits and a hit batter to grab a quick one-run lead.

    Then they watched Zack Littell ruin their chances, and the rest of their night, with a brutal five-run first inning in what ended up a 7-3 mess.
