ST. PETERSBURG -- One-run losses have plagued the Rays this season, including Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners in the series finale at Tropicana Field.
The Rays managed to get the tying run on board in the ninth against Seattle closer Alex Diaz, but ended up making the final out of the game at home plate.
The Rays have had 26 games decided by one run this season, second in the Majors to Seattle (30). The Rays have lost 17 of those games -- including five to the Mariners -- the most in the league.
