Things are not going great for the Tampa Bay Rays. After dominating the competition over a six week period, the Rays have suddenly dropped three consecutive series. They just narrowly avoided being swept by the Minnesota Twins and fell victim to back-to-back walk-off losses.
The Rays newfound losing ways have allowed the Toronto Blue Jays (who are currently on an eight game winning streak) to take a three game lead in the American League East. The Rays still control the top Wild Card spot but are tied with the New York Yankees but face a strong test in the Tigers as they’ll head to Detroit for a three game series.
