“Sunburst Awards” is a series-by-series evaluation of player performance, where four different awards are given out after each series: Offensive player of the series, defensive player of the series, pitcher of the series, and highlight play of the series. This edition will be covering the 31st series of the season, where the Tampa Bay Rays took on the Cleveland Guardians from July 12 to July 14, a three game series at Tropicana Field.
The Rays just keep this thing going, finding their way back to .500 winning eight of their last 10 series. Let’s give out some awards!
