Although the Rays opening win streak has ended, there is no doubt they have started the season off strong. They tied the record for most consecutive wins to start the season, they lead the MLB in many offensive and defensive categories. As of Saturday, they even have more homers than runs allowed.
What’s the secret sauce?
There are many things that have gone right, but I think it’s the Rays depth that is noteworthy.
The Rays are known as a team that uses all 26 men — there are no bench warmers seen only during blowouts.
