The New What Next: Rays vs Cardinals; Round Two — A Series Preview of Sorts
Back at it Tuesday night. The Tampa Bay Rays are primed and set to start another quick, two-game series against the Cardinals, this time in St. Louis. The red-hot Rays, owners of a 23-11 record since June 11, are coming off a huge three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins. Not only did they make up ground in both the AL East and in the Wildcard standings, they also walked away with the Knutson Cup.
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Win 5-3, Sweep Twins
The Rays put the icing on the cake Sunday afternoon, finishing off the Twins in grand sweeping fashion. Chris Archer put together strong outing, and the offense was able to put together another good performance.
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Price, Rays Take the Series Following 5-1 Win
Amidst the trade speculation and rumors, the Tampa Bay Rays have quietly put together a run. Winners of their last four, including a 5-1 victory last night against the Minnesota Twins, the Rays have gone 23-12 since June 11. David Price put together another excellent bid to keep Tampa Bay in the thick of things, tossing an eight-plus inning gem for his fifth consecutive victory.
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Maintain Their Momentum, Top Twins 6-2
A big question preceded the start of the All-Star Break: Could the Rays maintain their momentum in the (symbolic) second half of the season? After all, Tampa Bay went 21-12 — extending back to June 11 — while a cloud of uncertainty, over the future of David Price and Ben Zobrist with the team, lingered overhead. If their 6-2 victory against the Minnesota Twins did only one thing, it’s answer the question to an extent — yes they can. The victory also found them 4-1/2 games out of third in the AL East, and 7-1/2 out in the Wildcard race.
