View from the Catwalk: Sole possession
With last night’s win over the Oakland Athletics, the Rays lead the New York Yankees by half a game For the first time since May 18th, the Tampa Bay Rays stand alone in first place in the American League East: Charlie Morton delivered a sparkling seven inning outing.

Eduardo A. Encina's takeaways from the Rays' 9-7 loss to the Twins

Brandon Lowe, Tommy Pham, and Ji-Man Choi back a strong outing from Charlie Morton It took a while to get there, but the Rays eventually dispatched the Cleveland Indians 6-2 behind big hits from Lowe, Choi and Pham, and strong pitching from Charlie Morton.
