Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Alex Cobb Excellent in Rays’ 5-1 Win

If you’re keeping track, that’s the 11th win in 12 games and the 29th in 41. Tampa Bay is now one game under .500 at 53-54 — they were 18 under on June 10.

Updates on Ryan Hanigan, Will Myers, and David Price

Per Marc Topkin, David Price is eager for a resolution to the trade situation surrounding both the Rays’ ace and Ben Zobrist, though his focus has not been distracted from the task at hand.
