New month, who dis?
After a completely disappointing July going 8-16, the Tampa Bay Rays look to be back to their dominant ways with a 5-2 win over the New York Yankees. The win gives the Rays a three-game winning streak and back-to-back series wins.
The Rays made their presence felt offensively in the top of the second inning. With two men on base via walks, Jose Siri struck out for the second out of the inning. In July, this easily would have felt like the third out was coming, but this is August, and Manny Margot delivered a ground-rule double that one-hopped the fence, sending Isaac Paredes home to give the Rays a 1-0 lead.
