Thanks to an offensive barrage in the eighth inning of series finale against the Los Angeles Angels the Tampa Bay Rays completed the four game sweep and extended their winning streak to five.
Last week the Rays and Oakland Athletics played a very entertaining four game set at Tropicana Field that ended with a split decision. Since leaving Saint Petersburg the Athletics have gone 3-4, all against teams from the American League East.
The Athletics currently hold the top spot in the American League West at 19-14 while the Rays sit 1.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East.
