Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Fall 3-2 In Extra Innings

In the fifth, Yunel Escobar led things off with a hard hit double of the Monster. Jose Molina moved Escobar to third on a beautifully executed bunt up the right side. If I may, Molina looked like he was setting up camp as he slowly lumbered up the first base line — subsequently getting tagged out halfway between home and first.

The New What Next: There’s Gonna Be A Borstal Breakout — A Rays vs Red Sox Series Preview

Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Drop Third Straight, 3-2

The Tampa Bay Rays dropped the final game against the Toronto Blue Jays by a score of 3-2, Wednesday night. Despite a disastrous two-run first inning, Chris Archer put things together, posting five consecutive innings of scoreless ball. Tampa Bay fell back to eight games under .500 thanks to the loss (and the series sweep). The Rays will resume play Friday in Boston, where they’ll start a three-game weekend series against the Red Sox. Having lost almost all they gained prior to this, their most recent series, the Rays will try to bury the Red Sox once again.
