The Rays came right back and took a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth. Angels manager Joe Maddon brought in right-hander Mike Mayers to face Randy Arozarena, and that worked as he popped out. Thompson, who had two days off after working three straight, wasn’t sharp, allowing doubles to Taylor Ward and, with […]
The ability to regularly get good returns in the high volume number of trades they make is huge. “What I think I saw is for a bit there, they got away from their DNA, trying to get a little bit more offensive,” he said. “I know their defense has not been up to snuff 100 […]

If this is what Wander Time looks like, Tropicana Field is about to get a lot buzzier. This was not your typical big league debut, and it sure as heck wasn’t your normal Tuesday night at a Rays game. By his third plate appearance, that name was going viral with the first-pitch, line-drive homer. The […]
George Vanderlip, a veteran with a traumatic brain injury, is in the full-time care of his parents. During the coronavirus pandemic, the state of Florida relieved the Vanderlips of the 280-mile round-trip journeys from their home in Deland to Apollo Beach, where the family’s preferred cannabis physician practices.

For many, it may be sunscreen , to get a better grip on balls they say are alternately slick and chalky, consistently inconsistent, based on how and when prepared. “Pitchers need to be able to have some sort of control or some sort of grip on the ball. League officials say there is strong support […]
Wacha gave up four runs in the first inning as the Mariners rapped six hits — by placing the ball where the Rays weren’t positioned — and 11 for the night. I felt like I was getting ahead, but my two-strike pitches just weren’t where they needed to be. He has been used as a […]
Hedman added an insurance goal on the power play later in the period, making the score 4-1. Combined, Lightning defensemen have 27 points this postseason. “I think it’s a rarity that our D hadn’t scored, to be honest, in this, and part of it, too, is the teams you play,” he said. Never miss out […]

TAMPA — As the Lightning have previously said following a loss in the postseason, there isn’t panic in the room. On Monday, the Lightning opted to use their off day to study film.

The Rays haven’t faced the White Sox since July 21, 2019, at Tropicana Field and swept a three-game series earlier that season in Chicago.

“That’s us,” said Rays manager Kevin Cash, whose team reached a season-high 18 games over .500. Brosseau ranged far to his left to gloved Anthony Santander’s grounder, then pivoted and threw to shortstop Taylor Walls, whose quick relay throw got Santander by a step at first base.

Like last week when the 41-year-old lefty hopped a ride on the Rays’ coaches and staff bus to the stadium in Texas rather than wait for the next player bus. There’s been no joking about how Hill has pitched. Tom Brady, whom Hill overlapped with at Michigan, won a Super Bowl for the Bucs — […]
