The Chicago White Sox traveled to Tampa, Fla., Thursday night for a weekend showdown at Tropicana Field between the teams with the best records in the American League.
It won’t get nearly the same attention as the Field of Dreams game, but the Sox-Rays series in the “Trop” should be just as intriguing.
The Sox and the defending AL champion Rays appear to be October-bound, though Tampa Bay remains locked in a tight race in the East with the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, while the Sox already are a virtual lock to win the Central.
