in Sports/Top Headlines by

He allowed three hits. All of them left the park. He allowed five baserunners. All of them made home. In other words, it was a frustrating night for Tampa Bay Bays pitcher Jake Odorizzi, who was mostly good in his start against the New York Yankees. But the Yankees did the most damage possible with a little bit of offense, hitting three home runs on their only hits against Odorizzi, blows by Alex Rodriguez, Brian McCann and Greg Bird. Two…

As second half starts, can the Rays catch New York in AL East?

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The starting pitching has been shredded by injury. The hitting has been held ineffective by a lack of ability. They have shown the questionable talent of going into a prolonged slump. The general manager is new. The manager is new. Most of the players just got here. Ask yourself then: As the Tampa Bay Rays prepare to begin the second half of their schedule, do they have what it takes to catch the New York Yankees? Here at the break,…

Rays finally end their losing skid by beating Yankees

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Finally. Relief. The Tampa Bay Rays won a baseball game at last Sunday afternoon, finally getting enough hitting, enough scoring and enough pitching to return to the win column after losing seven straight ballgames. They beat the New York Yankees, 8-1, scoring the game’s first four and its last four. The Rays had been fairly creative in all their losing, dropping games on three-run homers and on botched bunt plays. They had won only one of their previous 10 games.…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Some race in the American League East, isn’t it? The first-place Tampa Bay Rays lost 16-4 on Tuesday night. The second place New York Yankees lost 12-2. For both teams, it was a struggle on the mound. How bad was it. It was so bad that the Washington National’s Wilson Ramos hit a home run off first baseman Jake Elmore. Then he hit a home run off second baseman Nick Franklin. It is easy to guess he wanted a crack at…

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 ½-game lead over Toronto and a four-game lead over Boston. The Rays were powered by rookie Steven Souza Jr., who…
