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: Despite Late Rally, Rays Fall to the Pirates, 6-5
Despite a four run, two-inning uprising, the Tampa Bay Rays dropped the second game of the series to Pirates by a score of 6-5.

Looking Backward While Moving Forward: The Hangover; Rays Lose 8-1
The hangover — both literal and figurative. Last night’s losing venture led to drinking… Not a copious amount of alcohol, but enough to make me regret being awake and typing a game recap.

The Rays ended the night having been thrashed by the Pirates, 8-1.

The Rays are back at it Monday, following a quite successful series against the Astros. They’ll welcome the Pittsburgh Pirates into The Trop for a three-game Interleague Series — their first visit in 11 years. The Pirates, who have won three of their last four games, are 9-4 in their previous 13 road games, while Tampa Bay has won seven of their last 11 contests, averaging 4.4 runs in that span.
