Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Bounce Back With a 5-4 Win

After dropping a 4-3 nail biter on Friday, the Tampa Bay Rays tagged Mets’ starter Noah Syndergaard for four runs in the first inning of Saturday’s contest, overcoming an early 3-0 deficit, and going on to defeat New York by a 5-4 margin. Tampa Bay snapped the Mets’ seven-game win streak, as four relievers combined to throw four innings of no hit ball. Blessed by a pair of Angels and Twins losses, the Rays start the day four games out in Wildcard race.
