Rays 6, Pirates 5: Victory Paredes!
Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports Isaac Parades saves the day Not gonna lie, this recap was going to be about how much I hated the bullpen management, and how Cash clearly pissed off the baseball gods. But the Rays had other ideas, rallying and winning it in thrilling fashion in the bottom of the ninth. Corey Kluber got the start today against J.T. Brubaker. And the Rays lineup? Well, it looked a little different, with Taylor Walls in the leadoff slot. pic.twitter.com/VNr9eGkbkt— Tampa Bay Devil Rays (@RaysBaseball) June 25, 2022 This...

Rays 11, Cardinals 3: A guide to why you build an early lead
Photo by Mike Carlson/ The Rays sure do like to make things interesting. Hey hey, a Rays’ win that didn’t require a walk-off, that’s nice. This game had it all. Non-review plays that went for the Rays when they shouldn’t. Review plays that went for the Rays when they definitely should. Cardinals relievers forgetting the number of outs and allowing an inning to keep going and a bunch more runs to score. It was definitely a wild ride. Corey Kluber started things off for the Rays, and had a nice 1-2-3 first inning. In the bottom of the first Tampa Bay wasted no...
