The Rays Tank: A lead upheld, Happ OK

DRaysBay — Last night the bullpen allowed the Rays' 10 runs to be enough, as they beat the Blue Jays 10-4, giving Joe Maddon his 600th win with the team and Matt Moore his sixth win on the season.

Tonight David Price and R.A. Dickey face off, only the third time two reigning Cy Young winners have started against one another. Price is 1-3 on the ye...
