Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Win 1-0, Odorizzi Injured
Logan Forsythe helped the Tampa Bay Rays notch their fourth straight win by hitting a towering home run off former Ray Fernando Rodney — breaking a 0-0 deadlock top of the ninth.

The victory was bittersweet, however, coming on a night where Jake Odorizzi was pulled after 4-1/3 innings with what has been called left oblique tightness. Tampa Bay, who is now 30-26 on the year, starts the day four games over .500 and a half game out of first in the AL East.
