ST. PETERSBURG -- They are all big games now, Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said earlier in the week, so that would make Thursday’s victory against Minnesota a big win.
And a much-needed win, at that.
The Rays rallied for a 5-4 victory against the Twins in front of 9,375, which made the total attendance for the three-game series between Wild Card contenders 28,212.
Brad Boxberger struck out the side in the ninth inning as the Rays snapped a three-game losing streak and gained a game on the Twins and Baltimore Orioles on the Wild Card standings.
