The Rays made it through the week still hanging on to the second Wild Card spot, thanks to a split against Toronto and taking three of four from Detroit. They also made up some ground on the suddenly scuffling Yankees, who have dropped five in a row and are now just (checks notes) 9.5 games ahead of the Jays and 11.5 ahead of the Rays? Okay that still sounds like a lot!
The Rays are off today before playing two in Milwaukee, then have another off day on Thursday before hosting a three game set against the resurgent Orioles.
