Kim Klement Neitzel-USA TODAY Sports Things have definitely been... different The Rays are matching up against the Tigers in the trop for the first time since the opening series of 2023, and while things haven’t started great for Tampa Bay with them already facing an embarrassing 7-1 loss in game one, it may be fun to compare these two seasons up to this point since they’ve been very different to say the least. To begin, lets look at their records. Through 24 games, the 2023 Rays were an impressive 20-4, including a record setting 13 game winning streak to start the season. They were not only ..read more

Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports It was an early scoring, close game, but a win is a win is a win. The Thursday day game saw Pepiot take on Canning, so let’s see how that unfolded at hope at the Trop. In the top of the first, the Angels went down in order.

At the end of one, the Rays were already up 2-0. Matt Thais got a one-out walk in the top of the second. Luis Rengifo followed that with a single ..read more
