Yikes, last night’s 8-1 loss to the Tigers wasn’t pretty — thank god for second chances. The true test will be how well the Rays can bounce back tonight.

The New What Next: Rays vs. Tigers — the Gauntlet Continues
The Tampa Bay Rays’ 11-game road gauntlet has gone well so far, and they’ll attempt to continue their success this weekend, when they head to Detroit for a four game wrap around series against the Tigers. For the Rays, they are currently 6-1 on the road, coming off a huge three-game sweep of the New York Yankees. Tampa Bay has found a way to remain relevant, thanks in large part to a productive offense that has averaged just under five runs per game (over the last 14-days).
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: How Sweep It Is!
Sweep! The Tampa Bay Rays are able to exit the Bronx in huge, sweeping fashion on the heels of a huge 6-3 win against the Yankees. Despite falling behind early, Tampa Bay battled back — putting up one spots in the third, fourth, and fifth innings knotting things up at three apiece. Then they pulled ahead in the sixth inning on a huge Sean Rodriguez two-run blast to left-center — the longest homer at Yankee Stadium in two years (measuring 102.1 MPH off the bat).
Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Price Solid, Loney Goes Yard, and the Rays Won 2-1
Grant Balfour made things hairy in the ninth, yet the Rays were still able to win the middle game of the series by a score of 2-1 — also winning the series in the process. David Price may have fallen short of his 10-K goal by one — a fact that’s irrelevant in the scheme of things — but he still walked away with a “W” behind a strong outing. Balfour was credited with the save.
