The Tampa Bay Rays took the getaway game from the Yankees by a score of 5-1. They finished their road trip at .500 over the 10 games, after starting the trip with a 1-4 record. The winning pitcher was Erik Bedard, who gave the team an excellent 6 IP/6 H/1 ER/1 BB/3 K/85 pitch (58 strikes) outing. The Rays have a well deserved off-day Monday, before resuming the schedule Tuesday against the Orioles at the Trop.

Looking Backward While Moving Forward: Rays Drop Game Third Game of the Series to the White Sox, 9-2
It’s up to debate whether the Rays would/could have eked out a 2-0 win against the White Sox Sunday — that is, assuming the five run, four error sixth inning, and the four run seventh never happened. For one thing, David Price sailed, efficiently, through the front five innings. And though the offense failed to tack on more than two runs — that is, when they had opportunities to do so in three other innings — they seemed in line for another one of their patented one or two run victories (see: the games on April 8, April 11, and April 12). Overall, they went 1-5 wRISP, stranding six men on the bags. Instead, they were embarrassed by the soft tossing, 29 year-old rookie (and the rest of the south-siders for that matter), falling 9-2.

The Rays put a halt to their four game skid, while the offense reasserted itself. Since I live blogged the game from section 143, the following recap will be of the game peripherals sort.
The New What Next: Rays Vs. Royals — A Series Preview of Sorts
The Tampa Bay Rays bid adieu to the Trop Sunday afternoon following their 3-0 loss to the Texas Rangers. All is not lost however, the Rays went 4-3 in their first home stand of the year, leaving the confines of the big top as the only team in the AL East with a +.500 record. I know… It’s still really early, but it feels really good to mention that Tampa Bay is in first place. They’ll begin a long nine game road trip in Kansas City, Monday. The Royals are coming off of a tough 5-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox, one in which James Shields tossed seven innings of one run ball. The ChiSox blew the game open after Juego G was pulled.

Here we go! A month and-a-half (plus) of Spring Training have come to pass, and now we’re on the cusp of 182 meaningful games, in what could be the most successful season in the Rays (now) 16 year history — that is, if Sports Illustrated and ESPN’s predictions come to fruition.
