Kevin Kiermaier’s hit leads to rare comeback win by Rays

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Tampa Bay Rays came from behind after the eighth inning. The Rays don’t do that. The Rays won on a walkoff hit. They don’t do that, either. Perhaps that’s why Sunday was a bit of fun for the Rays, who rallied for two runs in the ninth inning to beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-6. The Rays are now 2-62 when trailing after eight innings, and they have now won their second walkoff victory of the season. Baltimore had seemingly…

Rays get by Yankees; Evan Longoria hit by pitch

in Sports/Top Headlines by

When the Tampa Bay Rays’ pitching is on, it can compare to anyone’s. Just as the New York Yankees. The Rays managed to slip past the Yankees 3-2 Saturday afternoon, stopping the hottest pitching in the majors along the way. Starter Nathan Eovaldi has been 9-0 with a 3.32 ERA in his previous 13 starts, but he fell behind 3-0 in the first three innings as Asdrubal Cabrera had a two-run single and Kevin Kiermaier an RBI single. The Rays…

Rays’ Grady Sizemore leads comeback victory over New York Mets

in Sports/Top Headlines by

It started terribly. For the first time in a while, however, it finished the way it was supposed to for the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays rallied from a 3-0 deficit before they ever came to bat and pulled out a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday. This time, things went according to plan, as the bullpen combo of Jake McGee and Brad Boxberger (and Steve Geltz and Xavier Cedeno) shut out the Mets for an inning…
