The New What Next: Rays vs. Twins, Part Two ― A Series Preview

The Tampa Bay Rays and the Minnesota Twins are both still fringe contenders in the American League Wildcard race, and neither can afford to lose a series. The Rays will try to push their four-game home win streak to five at the expense of the Twins when they open a three-game series against Minnesota, beginning Tuesday.

Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Rally Late, Take 5-4 Win Over Oakland

For the first time in 50 attempts, the Tampa Bay Rays notched their first ninth-inning comeback of the season, as the team rallied for two runs late and won 5-4 over the Oakland Athletics. The Rays (62-61) have now won three straight and start the days just 1-1/2 games back in the Wildcard race.

The New What Next: Rays vs Athletics, Part Two — A Series Preview

It would a massive understatement to say that the Tampa Bay Rays westward trip has been disappointing. First they were swept by the Rangers in three games, then, after piling on the runs in Monday’s series opener with the Astros, Tampa Bay dropped the next two games in walkoff fashion. The team closed out their stint in Houston with a big one-hit shutout of the Astros to split the series. That’s all in the past now, as the Rays prepare for the third (and final) leg of this western excursion in Oakland, where they’ll take on the Athletics in a three-game weekend series.

Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Beat Up on the Astros, 9-2

The Tampa Bay Rays snapped their three game skid on Monday, beating up on Scott Kazmir and the Houston Astros by a score of 9-2. Tampa Bay starts the day at 59-59 with 44 games left, and tied with the Minnesota Twins just 2-1/2 games back in the Wildcard race.
