The New What Next: The Rays Are Set to Start a Three-Game Series with the Red Sox
The Tampa Bay Rays will welcome the Boston Red Sox into The Trop for a three-game series, Friday night. (Editor’s note: I’m not sure if welcome is the right word)
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Win, 3-0 AKA — How Sweep It Is
Let’s be honest here, no one thought the Tampa Bay Rays would return home with a perfect, 5-0 road trip record. 3-2 or 4-1, sure. 5-0? Not in the least. Low and behold however, the Rays shutout the St. Louis Cardinals 3-0 last night, closing out their most successful road trip to date. Winners of seven straight, the Rays ended the night 7.0 out of first in the AL East, 4.5 out in the Wildcard race, and 1.5 ahead of the Red Sox who will enter The Trop Friday, for a three game set.
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Crush Wainwright, Cardinals 7-2
On paper, the Tampa Bay Rays should have lost against Adam Wainwright and the Cardinals last night. While the Rays offense has been pretty good over the last 30 days, Wainwright represented an incredibly tough hurdle to overcome — especially when you consider that he, prior to last night’s start, boasted an 0.96 ERA over the last 30 days, while yielding a total of six runs in his last 53-1/3 innings of work. But the Rays not only rose to the expectations set before them, they exceeded them; walking away from Busch Stadium with a huge defeat against one of the best pitchers in baseball, and taking the first game of the series by five run margin, 7-2.
The New What Next: Rays vs Cardinals; Round Two — A Series Preview of Sorts
Back at it Tuesday night. The Tampa Bay Rays are primed and set to start another quick, two-game series against the Cardinals, this time in St. Louis. The red-hot Rays, owners of a 23-11 record since June 11, are coming off a huge three-game sweep of the Minnesota Twins. Not only did they make up ground in both the AL East and in the Wildcard standings, they also walked away with the Knutson Cup.
