Is it fair to call it the battle of Montreal? I think so. The former Montreal Expos traveled to St. Pete to take on Montreal’s possible next MLB franchise for a quick two-game series that wrapped up on Wednesday.
After the series, the Tampa Bay Rays saw their AL East lead expand to 1.5 games over the Boston Red Sox, who will take on the Houston Astros on Thursday night. The Rays will be off Thursday, and welcome in the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The Orioles, by the way, have either scored, or allowed, 10+ runs in their last four games.
