Huge Rays’ comeback overcomes A’s

August 11, 2026 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. For much of the night, they didn’t pitch particularly well. Also, they didn’t hit. Even their fielding was a little splotchy. And then, just before they let a game slip away, the Rays turned into the best team in the American League again. Trailing by four runs, the Rays exploded for eight […]

August 10, 2026 general

Monday, 4 a.m. The Golden Road Trip continues. Suddenly, it doesn’t matter who is pitching — they’re in control. It doesn’t matter who is at the plate — they come up big in the big moments.

Rays slide past Mariners again

August 9, 2026 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. Evidently, there isn’t a ninth inning that Bryan Baker cannot save. Baker played rescue-ranger again Saturday night, retiring a tough part of Seattle’s lineup to preserve a 3-2 victory. Baker gave up a hit to Julio Rodriguez, then retired Josh Naylor (who had two home runs on the night) and coaxed Brendan […]

Rasmussen, Baker stop Mariners

August 8, 2026 general

Rays’ pitching smothers Rockies attack

August 6, 2026 general

Thursday, 4 a.m. They don’t win a lot. They don’t shut opponents down a lot. But say one thing for the Colorado Rockies. Those guys can score.

August 5, 2026 general

Wednesday, 4 a.m. In the days to come, the Rays may try to explain exactly how they won Tuesday night’s game against the Colorado Rockies. It’s going to take a while. The Rays, inexplicably, won a 9-7 comeback in 11 innings at Coors Field. The Rays have now scored 22 runs in two games against […]

White Sox humble Rays once more

August 3, 2026 general

Monday, 4 a.m. From one vantage point, Sunday was a decent day for the Rays when you consider the acquisition of Freddy Peralta. On the other hand, would it have been so hard to pick up another bat, too. The Rays broke into double-figures in hits (11) for the first time in nine games Sunday, […]

August 2, 2026 general

Sunday, 4 a.m. Another reminder: If the other team doesn’t score, it can’t beat you. For the fourth time in seven games, the Tampa Bay Rays shut out an opponent. This time, it was 1-0, the team’s 10th shutout of the season. Drew Rasmussen led the way, striking out 10 and allowing just four hits […]

Sox pummel Rays with four homers

August 1, 2026 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. Perhaps it is time for a bit of a reminder for the Tampa Bay Rays: It’s hard to play defense on the far side of the fence. The Chicago White Sox reminded the Rays of that in Friday night’s 6-1 win at Tropicana Field. The Sox hit four home runs in their […]
