in Sports/Top Headlines by

Some pitchers are after victories. Some are after strikeouts. Matt Moore? Well, he’s after…trying to be Matt Moore again. Moore pitched his second straight strong game Tuesday night, beating the Boston Red Sox 5-2 and lifting the Tampa Bay Rays out of last place for at least a night. Moore surrendered two runs in the first, but no more in his 6 2/3 innings. Moore has shaved almost two runs off his ERA in his last two victories. It was…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

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 look to tomorrow with Mikie Mahtook, Tim Beckham

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The future looks like Mikie Mahtook, stroking another pitch into the outfield, collecting five hits in five at-bats.

Certainly, Friday night’s effort flashed next season for the Rays in an 8-6 victory over Baltimore. Mahtook led the way, becoming the eighth Ray to go…

List of former Tampa Bay Rays are still led by David Price, James Shields

in Sports by

Evidently, the Milwaukee Brewers are weary of Matt Garza. The Brewers told Garza to go home for the birth of his twins, and well, just to stay there. Evidently, Garza didn’t react well to being pulled from the rotation and didn’t want to pitch out of the bullpen. With $25 million due in his contract, odds are, he’ll be back. That caused a little wonder, however. Just how are the old guys for the Tampa Bay Rays doing? Are the…
