The Tampa Bay Rays capped off a successful month of April with a 3-2 victory against the New York Yankees in 13 innings. At 12-10 on the season, first year manager Kevin Cash did something with the Rays that hadn’t been done since 2012 — put together a plus .500 record in the first month of play. Compare that with last season, under the watchful eye of Joe Maddon, when the team went 11-16 with a -12 run differential. Not bad skip, not bad at all.
