Yesterday, the Tampa Bay Rays avoided a sweep at the hands of the Seattle Mariners behind a wonderful performance from Blake Snell. The Rays ended the week on a good note, after having lost five of their past six games as well as 12 of their last 15.
The Rays are off today, but on Tuesday, they’ll welcome in the Toronto Blue Jays for a three game set.
The prolonged losing has shaken up the Rays playoff aspirations as they are now over 11 games back in the division. Meanwhile in the Wild Card chase, the Rays are 4 games back with five teams ahead of them in the race.
