Dropping to second isn’t bad….Rays verses Yankees fighting all the way

On Sports in Florida….

   Tampa Bay Rays are now in second place after losing the last game against the Yankees which are their number one competition.

Eastern Standings:

Yankees  29-17

Tampa Bay Rays  27-17

Red Sox  25-22

Blue Jays  19-28

Orioles  15-32

  Tampa Bay Rays has 2 secret weapons to close out games…but lately whether it be postponed games, rain outs or just previous poor pitching, they have not been able to fully utilize their pitching staff. I call them “The Double-Mint Twins”

Jose Alvarado Diego Castillo

On the bright side…The Rays has been on fire with home run hitters..here are the star players…

Brandon Lowe– (10) home runs for the season, Yandy Diaz-(9) home runs for the season and Austin Meadows-(9) home runs

In the last game, The Rays really got shaken up when one of their hitters Daniel Robertson got hit in the face by pitcher Chad Green during a fast ball.  He is going to be okay and Chad Green respectfully was removed after that pitch from the game.  We don’t know if this was retaliation from a bad hit to one of the Yankee hitters in a previous game or not but these guys need to stay focused and remember what the ultimate goal is to make it to THE END!! Good Luck Tampa Rays in the next 20 games…hopefully you will get right back on top!!

To end out the month, the Rays play
