The Tampa Bay Rays earned an exciting, comeback victory against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday evening by a score of 10-6. Although the Rays had an early lead, they were not able to hold it as lefty starter Josh Fleming only lasted 3 innings and allowed 5 runs on 10 hits. However, the bullpen kept the game in check long enough for the offense to come alive in the 8th, shortening the lead and finally putting up 5 runs in the 9th, lead by back-to-back home runs by lefties Luke Raley and Josh Lowe and an exclamation point 3-run shot by Yandy Diaz.

The Tampa Bay Rays secured a win against the Washington Nationals to start the season 4-0, which is a franchise first in 25 years. The Rays were once again supported by their starting pitching, this time it was Drew Rasmussen's start. Rasmussen threw 6 innings on 66 pitches allowing only 2 hits and no runs. Luke Raley flexed his power with a 2-homer day and Isaac Paredes joined with his first one of the season.

The Tampa Bay Rays showed stellar pitching, great defense and timely hitting on all three games facing the Detroit Tigers on their way to a weekend sweep. Although the Tigers are projected to be one of the worst teams in the American League, the Rays came out doing exactly what they needed to do--play the game to their own talent level, not the opponent's. The starting rotation had a fantastic weekend with Shane McClanahan, Zach Eflin and Jeffrey Springs looking sharp, the latter taking a no-hitter through six innings. Wander Franco and Jose Siri were important offense contributors as the former is 7-11, with a HR and 3 doubles (with a steal!) to start the year. What were your favorite moments of this weekend?

FUN FRIDAY EPISODE!

The Tampa Bay Rays were able to start the 2023 season successfully as they defeated the Detroit Tigers 4-0. Sharp defense behind 6 shutout innings by Rays lefty Shane McClanahan, alongside very opportunistic Rays hits were the perfect combination on Thursday afternoon. In order to dive deep on what is going on closer to the locker room, WTSP’s Sports Director Evan Closky (@ECloskyWTSP) joins the show.
