Latest news and updates about the Rays
In my mind, I had this game in the loss column even before first pitch. The Rays offense looked half asleep yesterday against a lesser pitcher, and today they would be facing Troy Melton, he of the 1.86 ERA. Those of you with good memories will recall that Melton had pitched a gem against the […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees are all among the serious contenders in MLB right now.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies and Boston Red Sox have performed fairly well and it […] The post 3 sneaky MLB teams that could make shocking 2026 World Series pursuits appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Yankees’ bullpen deserves a lot of credit for exceeding expectations in 2026. There was plenty of eye-rolling in the offseason when it became clear that they were going with pretty much the same bunch that ended 2026, minus Luke Weaver and Devin Williams. Minimal offseason improvements were made. And yes, there were absolutely misses. […]
The Detroit Tigers snapped their six-game losing streak on Tuesday night with a 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Comerica Park. Jackson Jobe was not incredibly sharp, but combined with the bullpen, the pitching staff stymied the visitors’ bats while a two-run homer from Max Clark helped power the good guys to the […]
The Rays had their chance to take control of this one in the fourth inning with the bases loaded and just one out. Jackson Jobe, the Tigers’ starter, was floundering having allowed three hits, a walk and a run in the first five batters. Nonetheless, the Rays were able to muster just the one run […]
A familiar Dolly Parton song created a quiet moment at Comerica Park on Tuesday as the Detroit Tigers prepared to face the Tampa Bay Rays. “Jolene” played during early batting practice, adding significance to the routine pregame soundtrack in light of Parton’s death. Parton passed away peacefully Tuesday in Nashville, Tennessee, at age 80, her […] The post Tigers pay tribute to Dolly Parton with ‘Jolene’ batting practice soundtrack appeared first on ClutchPoints .

The Athletics announced that they have claimed right-hander Chris Roycroft off waivers from the Rays. Tampa had designated him for assignment in recent days. To open a 40-man spot, the A’s transferred shortstop Jacob Wilson to the 60-day injured list. It was reported last week that Wilson was unlikely to come back from his left […]

While they were on the sidelines there were some notables games still going on, most importantly both the Rays and Sox. […]
Framber Valdez made bizarre Tigers history Monday as Rays hitters swung 41 times without missing a single pitch in Detroit's 4-1 loss.
The Detroit Tigers made it six straight losses and ninth in the last 10 games with a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Comerica Park on Monday night. Framber Valdez was just good enough to earn a quality start, but his offense failed to find any real momentum. Taking the mound for the […]
Blake Snell has been quite brilliant for the Los Angeles Dodgers ever since he came off the injured list. He’s allowed just two earned runs in 18.0 innings pitched since, lowering his ERA to 2.57 on the season. Snell continues to be one of the best pitchers in MLB, as he has been since the […] The post Dodgers’ Blake Snell gets new company in extremely exclusive Rays club appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Tigers continue to lose at the worst possible time, dropping the first game of their series against the Rays 4-1. Let’s throw our memories back a ways, to the last time the Tigers squared off against the Rays. Detroit was down and out, and the Rays were red hot. That series defied all expectations […]
The last time the Rays faced the Tigers, it went very poorly for Tampa Bay. They went into the series looking to topple an easy opponent, and instead the series seemed to turn everything around for the Tigers, at least for a brief period of time. The Tigers once again find themselves down and out, […]

We’re back with another Breaking T shirt, this time featuring Milwaukee’s first baseman. Jake Bauers, 30, is a former seventh-round pick who reached as high as baseball’s No. 75 prospect in 2017 while with the Rays. But once he finally broke through to the majors, he never really found success outside of some solid power […]
There must be something in the water when the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles face off that always seems to end with an Orioles victory. For the fourth straight season, Baltimore clinched the season series against Tampa Bay.
