Come Tuesday, the 19-18 Tampa Bay Rays will welcome the 22-16 Boston Red Sox into the Trop, for the first game of a three game set against their AL East rivals. The surging Rays look to make up some ground in the East against a struggling Red Sox team, who have gone 2-8 over their last 10 games. If Tampa Bay can take the series, they’ll waltz into Baltimore at least three games over .500 and tied with the Red Sox for third place in the East. This promises to be a big series.

Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Rally Past Padres, 6-3

The Tampa Bay Rays will welcome the San Diego Padres to Tropicana Field Friday night for a three game set, following a pair of big wins against the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday and Thursday.

Rays 5/6/13 Starting Lineup, Etc

Though Tampa Bay went 4-5 on their most recent road trip, there is a lot to be excited about following their 8-3 victory against the Colorado Rockies Sunday.
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: The “Another Start, Another Loss” Edition
Well, that certainly didn’t go as planned. Neither David Price nor the Rays could build on their respective previous starts Saturday night, as Tampa Bay got drilled by the Colorado Rockies, losing handily by a score of 9-3. The redundant plot line was the same: Rays take lead, Rays give up lead, Rays lose the game. And though David Price gave up a career worst nine runs — raising his ERA 6.25 — I’d be hesitant to place the blame on he and he alone; sloppy fielding and a quiet offense certainly didn’t help the cause.
