“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 27th series of the season, where the Tampa Bay Rays took on the Washington Nationals from June 28 to June 30, a three game series at Tropicana Field.
How about another series win and the Rays are back at .500! Let’s give out some awards.
-NOTE- In the last edition of Sunburst Awards, there was a mistake in which Richie Palacios was given the highlight award for a play by Jose Caballero.
