Tampa Bay Rays’ manager Kevin Cash told the media that it was time for a “gut check” after Wednesday’s ugly loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. If ever there was such a thing as a “gut check” win, Friday night’s 3-1 come-from-behind victory against the Baltimore Orioles was it. Tampa Bay ended the night with a 49-49 record, and — thanks to losses by the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays — tied for second place in the AL East.
