Tuesday, 4 a.m.
During their recent slide in the American League, you can add this to the list of woes of the Tampa Bay Rays.
They're having trouble holding onto a lead.
The Rays, 6-13 in their last 19 games, saw an early lead painfully whittled down in a 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday night at Dodger Stadium.
The Rays took a 3-0 lead early on a two-run homer by Ryan Vilade and a bunt by Taylor Walls. Rays' starter Nick Martinez gave up a tying three-run homer to Kyle Tucker in the second. Reliever Steven Matz gave up the go ahead homer on a pinch-hit blast by Miguel Rojas.
The Rays did not score in their final eight at-bats. Jonathan Aranda, Junior Caminero and Vilade all had two hitss, but the rest f the Ras could mane only two more.
Aranda was thrown out at the plate in the third inning.
The Rays and Dodgers play again tonight at 10:10 p.m. at Dodger Stadium. Drew Rasmussen (6-2) of the Rays will face Justin Wrobleski (7-2)
