Arizona’s Zack Greinke tames Rays’ hitters in allowing only three hits

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Remember all the chatter about the Tampa Bay Rays‘ hot offense? Remember the talk about hitting streaks and home runs and hot hitters? Arizona’s Zack Greinke put a stop to all of that Tuesday night, shutting out the Rays in a 5-0 game. Greinke allowed only three hits, and he never allowed a Rays’ batter as far as second base. The Diamondbacks got all the runs they would need on a three-run homer by Jake Lamb and a two-run shot…

Dodgers clobber Tampa Bay Rays behind Howie Kendrick, 10-5

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Tampa Bay Rays don’t play the Los Angeles Dodgers very often. Judging from Tuesday night’s result, perhaps that’s a good thing. The Rays fell hard to the Dodgers, losing 10-5 to fall to 11-14 through their first 25 games. Pitcher Matt Moore in particular had a tough night, giving up seven earned runs in only 4 1/3 innings and striking out only two. “He didn’t locate the ball as well as he should have, and they took advantage of…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Who says that big hitters don’t make their way through the Tampa Bay Rays’ farm system. It’s just that when they do, too many times they end up elsewhere. For instance, consider the case of Baltimore’s Joey Rickard, who was claimed by the Orioles in December’s Rule 5 draft. It was Rickard who took Matt Moore deep for a three-run homer in the fifth inning, enabling the Orioles to win a 3-1 game. “Last year when I got to play…

Matt Moore led the way to the win, throwing 6.1 innings and allowing only two runs and five hits. Alex Colome had his first save out of the bullpen. “Brando is such a big part of our…

Rays ready to play ball with Cuba as economic sanctions eased

When nations place politics in the way of sports, the tricky thing isn’t knowing when to start. It’s knowing when to stop. For South Africa, that was not knowing when to boycott the Olympics. It was back in 1992, when the country decided to rejoin. No one much cared that the Soviet bloc boycotted in 1984 (or the U.S. In 1980). That just meant more medals for the home country. And so it has gone. This nation doesn’t want to…

Tampa Bay beats Red Sox behind solid start by Matt Moore

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Matt Moore, who closed out the 2015 season with a hot streak, has started out this season in the same way.

Juniel Querecuto knocked in the winning run in the 10th for the Rays. “It was all right,” said Moore. “I think I was…
