ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — One of the many things that's defined the Tampa Bay Rays during this five-year streak of postseason baseball is their ability to get hot — and stay hot — for a good stretch.on their way to 99 victories. In 2021, they had one 11-game winning streak AND another nine-game streak and won 100 games, taking the American League East by eight games.
There are plenty of reasons why the Rays can't put anything together. Their five-game streak included three in a row against the New York Mets from May 3-5, their last series sweep in the past two months, and then two against the horrible Chicago White Sox. The four-game streak was the last two games in Boston May 15-16, and then two in Toronto.After getting swept in Texas — and getting outscored 20-5 in the three losses — the Rays are now 44-46. They are 5.
This last week leading up the All-Star break will mean a lot to the Rays. They have three games with the Yankees and three more this weekend against the Cleveland Guardians, who are 56-33 and lead the American League Central by five games over the Minnesota Twins,.The Rays have sold off a few pieces already, trading starter Aaron Civale to the Milwaukee Brewers last week, and moving struggling reliever Phil Maton to the New York Mets on Tuesday.
Dumping salary is one thing, but having suitable replacements is another. Selling might come later, and ''we'll see in a few weeks,'' Neander said. For now, it's about the guys coming in, not going out.
