Re: 2015 Tampa Bay Rays season
The Rays got out to a good lead right away putting up three runs in the first, KK walked, Butler singled and Longoria homered.
In the third, KK singled, Butler and Longoria walked to load the bases, DeJesus grounded into a fielder's choice scoring KK, Kluber got out of the inning with just the one run, 4-0 Rays.
Erasmo Ramirez left the fourth with a groin injury. He had given up no runs, two hits and struck out three.
In the top of the 8th, with Ryan Webb now pitching for Cleveland, Kiermaier tripled, later, he attempted to score when Longo hit the ball, they caught him in a run down but Urshela dropped the ball and he got back safe to third, Longo ended up on second. Webb got out of the inning unscathed.
With Brandon Gomes pitching for the Rays Bourn walked, Urshela singled and Kipnis walked to load the bases. Lindor grounded into a fielder's choice, Bourn scored. That would be all they would get and Rays take second game 4-1.
Cedeno got the win for the Rays. Kluber went seven gave up four runs on four hits, four walks and struck out six for the loss.
The Rays have won eight of their last nine, are a season high 10 games over .500.
Corey Kluber has his fourth consecutive loss.
Jason Kipnis extended his hitting streak to 15 games and his streak at Progressive to 24.

Re: 2015 Tampa Bay Rays season
This was a pitching duel through the first half, the Rays were the only ones collecting hits but Kipnis made a great diving stop in the 5th off Souza Jr.
Colome had a perfect game going into the 6th when Bourn reached on an infield single. There continued to be no scoring until the final inning.
In the 9th Perez and Kipnis singled, an intentional walk to Brantley loaded the bases, fly ball off Murphy to Kiermaier, the throw caught and a bullet to home, Casili dropped the ball, Indians win 1-0, keep from getting swept. The first walk-off of the season for the Tribe.
Probably my least favorite managerial decision is the intentional pass no matter how many outs in the bottom of the ninth, it tends to bite you on the ass.
Colome went seven scoreless giving up just one hit, two walks and struck out four getting a no decision.
Anderson went 7.2 scoreless, giving up six hits, one walk and striking out four, also a no decision in his debut. He became the fourth Indian pitcher to go at leaat 7.2 innings in the ML debut (Scott Lewis Sept. 16, 2000, Luis Tiant July 19, 1964 and Ray Benge Sept. 26, 1925).
Kevin Jepsen took the loss, Cody Allen the win.
Kipnis extended his hitting streak to 16 games (longest active streak in the Majors) and his Progressive Field streak to 25, two shy of the record held by Elvis Andrus.
Rays took the series 2-1.

In the Rays half Elmore walked, went to second when Rivera grounded out, to third o a wild pitch and scored on a single by KK. Longoria singled to score KK, Rays up 3-1.
In the third, Reyes homered to cut the lead 3-2.
In the fourth, Navarro homered to right for a 3-3 tie.
In the sixth, Bautista homered, Belisario relieved Andriese. Encarnación walked, Navarro singled, Colabello doubled in Encarnación. Carrera singled in Navarro, Colabello score don a ground out by Valencia, Jays take a 7-3 lead.
With Redmond pitching for the Jays in th seventh, Forsythe led off with a homer. Souza Jr. tripled, Rivera doubled him home, Rays cut the lead 7-5.
With Romero pitching for the Rays in the 8th, Carerra singled, Romero tried a pick off throw that sailed, Carrera ended up on third and scored on a single off Valencia. The Jays take first game 8-5.
Rays loaded the bases in the 8th coming away with nothing.
Hutchison went 5 innings giving up three runs on nine hits, two walks and struck out six for the win.
Andriese went 5.1 giving up four runs on five hits (three homers), no walks while striking out two for the loss.
It was the 500th victory for Jays manager John Gibbons, putting him second in franchise history behind Cito Gaston (894).
Steve Geltz retired the Jays in order during the ninth, extending his streak to 28 consecutive batters to set a new Rays' record previously held by Kyle Farnsworth with 26.
The game was delayed for a short period in the fourth when a banks of lights went out along the left-field line, crew chief Joe West allowed the game to continue without the lights after a three minute consult with the crew.
Asdrubal Cabrera has been frustrated at the plate, it boiled over when he tossed his and helmet and bat after a third strike call and was ejected by home plate umpire Kerwin Danley in the fifth. He left the locker room before it was opened to reporters. We will see if he gets disciplined, but while the pitch track showed that pitch could have gone either way, there were at least three strikes called to end Rays at bats when runners were on that were far off the plate during the game. This is why the players are going bat s*** (pun intended) this season.
Enny Romero was optioned back to Durham after the game.

Re: 2015 Tampa Bay Rays season
The Tampa Bay Lightning were in the house, well four of them, Ben Bishop, Alex Killorn, Brian Boyle and Braydon Coburn threw out the ceremonial first pitch(es) after taking BP with the Rays.Bishop hit four balls out to the stands.
The Rays got on the scoreboard in the second, Cabrera singled, then went to second on a wild pitch, Guyer singled sending him to the plate, 1-0.
Navarro homered to right for the 1-1 tie in the fifth for the first hit of the game by the Jays.
In the the Rays half of the inning, Kiermaier singled and went to second on a passed ball. Butler singled to score KK. Longoria walked, Forsythe was out when Pillar made an awesome catch but dropped the ball on the transfer, allowing Butler to score, 3-1 Rays.
In the seventh, Bautista walked and went to third when Navarro singled. Carrera reached second on an error by Elmore at first, Bautista scored, cutting the lead 3-2.
With Steve Delabar pitching for the Jay sin the 8th, Cabrera homered, 4-2 Rays.
Brad Boxberger took over in the 9th for the Rays gave up a homer to Encarnación, but ended the game getting Martin to strike out, Rays take second game 4-3. Series is tied 1-1.
Dickey went seven, gave up three runs on eight hits, three walks and struck out two for the loss.
Archer went eight, giving up two runs (one unearned) on three hits, one walk and struck out seven for the win. He now has a personal best winning streak of six. Though Boxberger allowed a homer in the 9th, he has 19 saves.
There was a challenge play in the first, Forsythe was ruled safe at first when it appeared that Encarnación was pulled off the base on a throw by Donaldson, but overturned on the replay to end the inning.
According to reports Brett Cecil has lost his closing role with the Jays, it may be handed to Roberto Osuna who struck out five over two innings in the 8-5 Jays win over the Ray in the first game Monday.
Injury/rehab report: Matt Moore will make what is hopefully his last rehab start on Friday for Durham and is expected back in the Rays rotation next week. Erasmo Ramirez is to have a bull pen session with a possible return by June 30th.

Re: 2015 Tampa Bay Rays season
The Jays didn't get a hit off Karns until the sixth, a single for Pillar.
This was a duel and the Rays didn't get a base runner until the eight when Logan Forsythe beat out the throw by Josh Donaldson breaking up a perfect game by Toronto's Marco Estrada. The play was challenged but upheld in less than a minute of review. The play previously, Donaldson did an impression of Derek Jeter when he dove into the stands to catch a foul hit by DeJesus. (If I find a photo I'll post it cause it was awesome!) Estrada allowed only one other hit (a double by Kiermaier) before departing with two outs in the ninth.
The Rays had chances in the 9, 10 and 11th innings.
There was still no score until Chris Colabello homered off Brandon Gomes in the 12th inning, Jays win 1-0.
Estrada was a teammate of Evan Longoria at Long Beach State. He became the first pitcher to take a no-hitter into the eighth of consecutive starts since 1988, when Toronto's Dave Stieb did it.
Jays take the series 2-1.

Re: 2015 Tampa Bay Rays season
Tonight's line-up:
 |
| Betts CF |
| Holt 2B |
| Bogaerts SS |
| Ortiz DH |
| Sandoval 3B |
| Napoli 1B |
| De Aza LF |
| Swihart C |
| Bradley RF |
| Porcello P |
| |
 |
| Kiermaier CF |
| Butler DH |
| Longoria 3B |
| DeJesus LF |
| Forsythe 2B |
| Souza Jr. RF |
| Cabrera SS |
| Krauss 1B |
| Casali C |
| Colome P |
Rick Porcello is a mess, he has lost six straight with a 7.50 ERA, he allowed six runs on eight hits (two home runs) in 5 IP in a 7-4 loss at Kansas City on Saturday. He got the only win in the last meeting between the clubs in May. DeJesus went 6- for-10 in Boston during a series in May, he is 10- for-25 off Porcello.
Alex Colome has struggled but s coming off his best outing when he gave up just one hit and two walks in seven innings in Cleveland, though the Rays lost 1-0. He has yet to have a quality start at home. He allowed two runs over five innings in a 5-3 win at Boston on May 6, his only career start against them.
The Sawx are without Dustin Pedroia who went on the disabled list yesterday, a line-up besotted with injuries like the Rays, the difference, Rays lead the division, Boston taking up the rear 9 games back, but it's still early.
The Rays were dominating, but have dropped three of four with two shut outs.
Tampa Bay has won four out of six against the Red Sox this season and are 10 out the last 14 at the Trop.
11 straight days alone in first place for the Rays, the longest streak since a 52-day run, April 22-June 12, 2010.
ACab is ready for Girls Night Out at the Trop.
Wear with pride big fella!

In the Rays half, Forsythe and Cabrera singled, new guy Krauss doubled Forsythe home, 2-1.
In the fourth, Napoli (once again) led off with a walk, Swihart singled, Nap to third, as Swihart was caught stealing, Nap hustled home, 3-1 Sox.He was not credited with a steal at home, though it appeared to be a double steal attempt, he was scored as advancing to home on the throw to second.
In the sixth, Butler singled, Longo doubled. DeJesus hit a sac fly scoring Butler. Porcello threw a wild pitch, Longo scored, tied 3-3.
Bullpens started taking over in the seventh, but at the end of 9 it was still 3-3.
In the Boston ninth, Betts led off with a double and scored when Holt singled. The Rays set down in order by Koji Uehara, Boston takes first game 4-3.
Porcello went 6 innings giving up three runs on nine hits, one walk and five Ks, got a no-decision, Ogando took the win.
Colome went six, gave up three runs on four hit, five walks and struck out two, also a no-decision as Geltz would take the loss.
Boston used 6 pitchers, Rays 7.
Mookie Betts extended his career high hitting streak to 13 with the double in the 10th. He had been thrown out at second in the seventh after reaching on a fielder's choice.
Hanley Ramirez was out of the lineup for a second straight game with a sore left hand.
