Rays News

The Rays were completely stifled by the Angels in an embarrassing 8-0 loss, a game that felt more like a bad dream than a competitive matchup. Craig Kimbrel made his return from the injured list, but his presence couldn't spark a lifeless offense that mustered only three hits against Jo Adell, who racked up four hits and three runs scored. The bright spot? At least this debacle took place late on the West Coast, minimizing the audience for such a dismal performance. With a run differential of +6 over the last week, it’s frustrating to see the team stumble like this when they’ve shown they can compete. Time to regroup and bounce back against the Angels again, the Rays need to remember they’re better than this.
