The Rays drop the last game of the season 7-3 to the Phillies. It was a must win game for the Phillies and they came out like it. They jumped on Nick Martinez and the Rays early. The Phillies scored 4 runs in the first 2 innings to give the Phillies a 4-0 lead. The Rays did get a run back in the 5th on a Jonny DeLuca solo homer that made it 4-1. But right after that the Phillies broke the game open. They scored another 3 runs in the bottom of the 5th to make it 7-1. DeLuca would hit his 2nd homer of the game in the 7th inning to make it 7-2. Victor Mesa finished off the scoring with a RBI single that made it 7-3. It is playoff time for the Rays and they will start game one of the ALDS Saturday against the Red Sox or the Yankees.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!AmazonThis Back To School Season, spend less on your kids, with Amazon.

The Rays shut out the Phillies 2-0. The Rays got off to a fast start. Jonny DeLuca got the Rays on the board with a RBI single in the 1st to make it 1-0. Nick Fortes gave the Rays a 2 run lead with a solo homer in the 2nd to make it 2-0. That would be all the runs the Rays would score as Phillies ace Christopher Sanchez would settle in and shut the Rays down. Luckily Freddy Peralta started for the Rays and was very good once again. Peralta went 5.1 IP only giving up 4 hits and 0 earned runs. The Rays bullpen was fantastic in this game to preserve the shut out. Cam Booser came in and left runners on 2nd and 3rd to close out the 6th. Kevin Kelly, Cole Sulser, and Bryan Baker helped close out the shut out for the Rays. The Rays will be back at it tomorrow against the Phillies.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!AmazonThis Back To School Season, spend less on your kids, with Amazon.

The Rays blow a 3 run lead in a 6-4 loss to the Yankees. This game started out very strong for the Rays. They took a 2-0 lead in the 3rd inning with a pair of RBI singles by Yandy Diaz and Junior Caminero. The Rays added another run on another Junior Caminero RBI single in the 5th to make it 3-0. The Rays then led 4-0 after scoring another run in the 6th. That is when everything fell apart. The Yankees scored 6 runs between the 6-8th innings. The Rays did not do a good job getting out of their way as errors for the Rays led to Yankee runs in the 7th inning. The Rays will head to Philadelphia next to start their last series of the year vs the Phillies.  Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!AmazonThis Back To School Season, spend less on your kids, with Amazon.

Tampa Bay Rays fans get an unexpected gift: four stress-free games as the AL East champs gear up for October. With the playoff berth and home-field advantage in hand, questions shift from winning to preparation—can the Rays maintain their rhythm and sharpness through simulated games and roster evaluation? The spotlight shines on Ian Seymour’s home run struggles, Brody Hopkins' roster potential, and the value of scrimmages against AAA Durham as the postseason approaches.Host Ulises Sambrano explores Cam Schlittler’s Cy Young-caliber year, debates pitching strategies for Ty Johnson and Hopkins, and examines whether fan attendance at scrimmages could give the Rays a real playoff edge. Insights include reactions to Mason Englert's performance, the latest injury updates, and the challenges of keeping the team fresh through the critical five-day layoff before the ALDS.
