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 of the Ras could manage 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)
