Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Win 1-0, Odorizzi Injured

Logan Forsythe helped the Tampa Bay Rays notch their fourth straight win by hitting a towering home run off former Ray Fernando Rodney — breaking a 0-0 deadlock top of the ninth. Meanwhile Kevin Jepsen pulled a Houdini act in the bottom half of the frame, solidifying the Rays 1-0 win over Seattle. The victory was bittersweet, however, coming on a night where Jake Odorizzi was pulled after 4-1/3 innings with what has been called left oblique tightness. Tampa Bay, who is now 30-26 on the year, starts the day four games over .500 and a half game out of first in the AL East.

The Angels’ mashers belted not one, two, or three homers Monday night, rather four en route to a 7-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Outfielder (and Subaway spokesperson) Mike Trout hit a three-run blast in the third inning, and the Angels never trailed thereafter. At 26-26, Tampa Bay is now a game behind the Yankees, in second place in the AL East.
