Rays win as sensation Curt Casali hits two more HRs

in Sports/Top Headlines by

For crushing Curt Casali, the markings of stardom were all around him. Who would have expected all of this from a guy who just got to the Tampa Bay Rays? There was the standing ovation after his ninth-inning strikeout, followed by his first-ever curtain call, a tip of a cap from a guy who barely knew what he was doing.

Souza sizzles as Rays reclaim share of 1st place

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Tampa Bay Rays pulled back into a tie for first place in the AL East. OK, OK. So the Rays only have a 26-25 record, and it has taken two straight wins (and a 3-0 victory by Oakland over the New York Yankees). But in a weak division, that’s good enough for a two-game lead over Baltimore, a 3 ยฝ-game lead over Toronto and a four-game lead over Boston. The Rays were powered by rookie Steven Souza Jr., who…
