The American League East-leading Tampa Bay Rays continue to get winning efforts from players they didn't pencil into their plans coming out of spring training 2.0.
Add outfielder Randy Arozarena to the list of unsung contributors helping the Rays (28-13), who open a two-game series against the Washington Nationals (14-25) in the nation's capital Monday night, to the AL's best record.
Recently added to the roster from the alternate training site, the speedy Arozarena came off the bench Saturday against the Miami Marlins and produced a two-hit night.
On Sunday afternoon when little went right for the Rays, he boosted the team with a three-hit game -- belting a pair of solo homers -- as the Rays won a 5-4 thriller with two runs in the bottom of the 10th inning.
