• Player of the Series: Yandy Diaz

Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images Diaz’s go-ahead homerun on Wednesday proved vital In a series that most players performed well but didn’t necessarily excel, it makes it difficult to determine a specific player to dole out our Player of the Series honor to. It’s also a struggle when the Rays drop two of the three games in the series. Brandon Lowe extended his hitting streak to 18 games and ...2025

• A bullpen in a china shop: Rays 6, A’s 5

Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images That got too close for comfort. Happy Wednesday, everyone, and it’s a fine day to watch some baseball. The Rays continued to play host to the A’s, and today’s game saw Ryan Pepiot on the mound for the Rays, up against Mitch Spence for the A’s. In the top of the first, with two outs, Brent Rooker tilted things in the A’s favor with a solo home run. After th...2025

• Frustrating loss opens home stand: Athletics 6, Rays 4

Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images The Rays opened up their short home stand with a frustrating 6-4 loss against the Oakland Sacramento Las Vegas Athletics. Rays starter Drew Rasmussen only went three innings, and Pete Fairbanks couldn’t keep the game tied in the ninth, and the offense could only muster runs in the fourth inning. Jacob Lopez toed the rubber for the A’s. Lopez, an oft-forgot...2025

• Player of the Series: Brandon Lowe

Photo by Mitchell Layton/Getty Images Since May 13th, Brandon Lowe has been one of the best players in baseball It was a series to forget for the Tampa Bay Rays as they blew a 6-0 lead on Friday and were nearly shutout on Sunday. They did manage to squeeze in a 11-3 victory on Saturday to avoid being swept. The offense did have plenty of bright spots. On Saturday, Jonathan Aranda belted a ...2025

Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Kremer silences the bats, Cowser robs a game-changing homer, and the Orioles tag Bradley for five runs to win the series. There were moments of hope and flashes of brilliance for the Tampa Bay Rays, but there was also Dean Kremer on the mound for the Baltimore Orioles.

• Player of the Series: Shane Baz

Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images The Rays starting rotation as a whole was masterful Prior to the game on Thursday, I was fully set to name Taj Bradley as the Player of the Series for his Tuesday performance, but he was surpassed by Shane Baz who delivered an incredible outing. Shane Baz started out the 2025 season on a strong note and looked like he could be emerging as an ace, but then...2025

Jonathan Dyer-Imagn Images When the Rays were struggling earlier in the season, we saw many games like this one. A scuffling starter, a bullpen implosion, and hitters who could scatter a handful of singles but not do much else. Before we get to the game, let’s also mention a very frightening moment that occurred off the field. A foul ball off the bat of an Orioles hitter went straight bac...2025
