The Tampa Bay Rays will attempt to recover after blowing two leads in a 7-6 loss on Wednesday, when they start a three-game weekend series with the New York Yankees Friday night. The blown victory ended a three-game win streak for Tampa Bay, which allowed the team to reach the .500 once again before falling back under. They start the series 4-1/2 games behind Texas for the second Wildcard spot after missing the chance at a three-game sweep of the Orioles.
J.P. Arencibia homered and drove in six runs to back a dominant start by Drew Smyly, as the Tampa Bay Rays breezed past the free-falling Baltimore Orioles 11-2 Tuesday night. For the second straight game, the Rays knocked out the Orioles’ starter in the fifth inning, and Tampa Bay (66-66) was able to move back to .500 ahead of the series finale Wednesday, when they’ll go for the sweep.
Faced with not having his best stuff, Chris Archer still tossed six shutout innings en route to the Tampa Bay Rays’ 6-3 victory over the fading Baltimore Orioles on Monday night. The Rays hit three homer runs in the contest, while Logan Forsythe went a homer shy of the cycle. With the win at Camden Yards, the Rays are now 65-66 on the season, and 3-1/2 games out in the Wildcard race.
