Need to get back to the west coast, stat! Rays 2 Orioles 10

The Rays defense kept the first inning from escalating into disaster. With Pete Alonso on first base, Ryan Vilade made this catch to save a run. But that’s not all! Pete Alonso was so sure this would be a hit that he was moseying around second base and even with Vilade having stand up and […]

Orioles heighten playoff push with 3rd-straight win against Rays, 10-2

After the Orioles traded Adley Rutschman, Taylor Ward, Tyler Wells and Dean Kremer before the August 3rd deadline, it was difficult to imagine them winning three straight games against a first-place team or moving into playoff position. On Sunday, they accomplished both. Down 1-0 through four innings, the Orioles’ bats exploded for 10 combined runs […]

Orioles at Rays discussion

It’s a been a fun weekend of Orioles baseball.

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays fall to Orioles despite ninth inning rally

Saturday day was a day that ends in “Y,” so that mean the Yankees’ offense didn’t produce much. Just like Friday, the Blue Jays held the fake Bronx Bombers to just one run, scoring only a bit more than that themselves to take the victory. The Yankees themselves put in a frustrating performance, but could […]

Baker and the Pen deliver a series win in the PNW: Rays 3, Mariners 2

Rays started slow with some awkward last minute changes. Griffin Jax had to be scratched with elbow discomfort, while Taylor Walls was removed from the initial lineup still dealing with back soreness.

Mariners Game #118 Preview and Discussion, 8/8/26: SEA vs TBR

Well, this could be awkward. The Mariners will take another step in the never-ending Hell that is the 2026 season. They lost last night, two solo homers to one. The lineup continues to look lifeless, and the pitching has been the worst in the majors for weeks now. This is a very bad baseball team […]

Kevin Kelly Is Re-emerging as a Rays Bullpen Weapon

Bullpen woes hit the Tampa Bay Rays hard to begin the 2025 season, but by season’s end, despite a 77-85 regular season record, they had MLB’s 12th best reliever ERA at 3.81 and tied for the third-lowest WHIP at 1.23 alongside the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago Cubs. Numbers of that quality and caliber wouldn’t have […] The post Kevin Kelly Is Re-emerging as a Rays Bullpen Weapon appeared first on Just Baseball .

Mariners lose solo home run contest to the Rays, 2-1

The good news is that the Mariners weren’t shut out. A last-gasp Julio Rodríguez solo homer helped the 2026 Mariners avoid making some ugly history, on a night when the Mariners opened the celebration of 50 years of the franchise. The bad news is that they might as well have been, with another lifeless offensive […]

The Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners kicked off a three-game set in Seattle on Friday night and the pitching matchup that featured Drew Rasmussen and Logan Gilbert did not disappoint.
