While Erasmo Ramirez was strong in his return to the rotation on Tuesday, Danny Salazar was stronger. The Tampa Bay Rays’ anemic offense couldn’t touch the Indians’ righty until sixth inning, while the bullpen collapsed for the second consecutive night en route to a 6-2 loss. The Rays have now dropped three straight games and seven of nine, falling to 42-37 on the season. Even still, Tampa Bay finds itself in a virtual tie for first thanks to losses by New York, Baltimore, and Toronto.
