Escape from New York!
The Tampa Bay Rays trip to New York City didn’t go as well as Rays fans hoped. The Rays were swept in a series. Don’t mistake a sweep for a blow out — every game was close, but the Rays just couldn’t make that one play to put them over the top. Now the Rays head to Charm City and hope facing the Baltimore Orioles will be the salve they need. However the Orioles have played well recently and are coming off a four game split against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Yankees have extended their sizable lead over three of the top four teams in the Wild Card race is making things look like an uphill battle for any team looking to get the first round bye in the playoffs.
