Rays News
Drew Rasmussen continues to be the backbone of the Tampa Bay Rays, earning his seventh consecutive victory in a commanding 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. With only one run allowed over six innings and five strikeouts, Rasmussen's performance exemplifies the team's resilience as they bounce back from a tough series against the Baltimore Orioles. Despite a recent 3-4 stretch with an alarming -8 run differential, the Rays maintain their grip on first place in the AL East with a 77-53 record. Stepping away from division rivals seems to have revitalized the team, giving fans hope as they look to build momentum ahead of the stretch run. As the postseason approaches, the Rays’ ability to find different ways to win becomes even more crucial.
