The day has finally come–the Tampa Bay Rays are 72-78, last in the American League East by a half-game. They have three games against the Boston Red Sox to change that–they just need to win two of them and split their four-game series with Boston to remain in fourth place. But for now, at least, the Rays are indeed in the cellar, and the way that they got there was emblematic of how they have fallen to this point.
Chris Archer only allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 5 innings, but unfortunately, that isn’t good enough these days.
