RAY MATTER The Rays have lost three consecutive games and are 1-5 in their last 6 games they have lost consecutive series, after going 5-1 in the previous six series from June 22 July 8 this 6-game stretch has brought the Rays from a season-high 4 games over.500 to 49-49, the ninth time this season they ve held a.500 record the Rays are 15-9 in 24 games since June 22 and 45-36 in 81 games since April 18 to improve from 4-13, which tied for the worst 17-game start in club history.
