The Rays have had a pretty great few weeks. One loss to the Kansas City Royals was the only minor speed bump in a sea of wins. They’ve won four in a row and 15 of their last 16 games after sweeping the Philadelphia Phillies last weekend.
The Rays hold a one game lead in the American League East over the Boston Red Sox. They are tied with the San Diego Padres for the best record in the majors.
The New York Yankees limp back home after being swept by the Detroit Tigers and losing five of their last six games.
