in Sports/Top Headlines by

Matt Moore continues to take up where his 2015 season left off. Moore, the pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays, threw 3 2/3 innings of shutout ball against the New York Yankees Saturday in a 2-1 victory. He struck out three without walking a batter and retired the last nine batters he faced. “I just filled up the zone pretty well.

Yankees’ Yogi Berra sure to be remembered for the wrong things

in Sports/Top Headlines by

As a kid, you knew who Yogi Berra was. He was the catcher with the funny name. The one with the funny lines. The one who seemed closer to a cartoon figure than a baseball player. Above it all, however, Berra was seriously a good baseball player for the New York Yankees. With his odd sayings and unique appearance, that gets overlooked sometimes.

Better than James Shields. Better than David Price. Better than Alex Cobb. Unfortunately, Chris Archer was not better than the New York Yankees. Archer set a Rays’ strikeout record Wednesday night, punching out seven Yankees to bring his season total to 243. However, Archer also absorbed a 3-1 loss to lower his record to 12-12 on the season. Archer passed former Rays’ pitcher Scott Kazmir, who set the record  with 239 in 2007 in a year he finished only 8-7.…

Nick Franklin? You could just imagine the players of the New York Yankees, shaking their heads and saying, “Nick Franklin?” Franklin, who was hitting only .133 in a sputtering season, cranked a two-run homer in the sixth to give the Tampa Bay Rays a lead. The Rays won, 6-3, to break a three-game losing streak. It was a while coming. Franklin, expected to contend for a middle-infield role on this team, had only one home run and only three RBI…

Yankees come from behind as Brad Boxberger blows another game

in Sports/Top Headlines by

For the optimists, there was Erasmo Ramirez, flirting with history. For the pessimists, there was Brad Boxberger, letting another one slip away. For the realists, there is the ever-daunting problem of trying to get back into the AL wild card race while falling. The Rays are now five games under .500, their lowest point of the season. The New York Yankees put them there Monday night with a 4-1 voctory on a ninth inning comeback. With the Rays one out away from…

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…
