Looking Backward While Moving Forward: The Rays Win Big, and the Pen Doesn’t Blow It (Updated)

Upon entering Wednesday night’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Rays desperately needed a solid victory. A big 10-4 win was precisely what the doctor ordered. Matt Moore got his sixth win of the season, as the Rays chinked away at the Blue Jays all night, scoring 10 runs on 13 hits and five walks

Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Lose to Jays, 6-4

Tuesday night’s game was a somber affair to say the least. Most of you are well aware of the incident with JA Happ in the bottom of the second.

Do the Creep! The Rays Sweep the Jays, and Look Forward to Boston
