Rays win again! 12-6 victory over the Red Sox! Rays are now a shocking 9-1 since their nadir at 3-12.. suddenly, I'm having 2011 flashbacks again on this Rays team. And with 3 against the Tigers after this Red Sox series, suddenly the East is looking a lot more competitive.. at the expense of Boston, New York and Toronto.. and it makes me fear they're going to screw with us again at the Trop next weekend.
Sox, despite the Toronto series, have cooled off dramatically.. dropping 5 of their last 7. It's not just Toronto struggling after a hot start.. and meanwhile, the Yankees are soaring. And the O's season is basically over.. cue the Machado to Yankees/Cubs/Phillies/wherever rumors..
