The Rays just got swept by the Royals — for the first time since 2016, and for the first time at home since August 1998. We dive into a brutal three-game series where Tampa Bay managed just three total runs, dropped to 9–13 at home, and continued their downward spiral with eight losses in their last nine home games. Is the “Yankee Curse” real?

Only five teams in MLB have a losing home record, and the Rays are now one of them. We break down Shane Baz’s rough outing (7 runs, 9 hits in 5 ⅔), the lifeless offense, and the growing concerns as the team sits at 14–17 heading into a pivotal series in the Bronx. Are the Rays in a slump—or is this who they really are?
