The Rays offense has always been their weak point as solid defense and excellent pitching has carried the team since their turnaround. This year there have been a couple of breakout players (Joey Butler & Logan Forsythe) meanwhile other player have performed much they were expected to. Although at time they have struggled to get runs in, they can usually manage to them when they need to win ballgames.
As the second half of the season dawns the Rays find themselves a game over .500 and in second place of the AL East.
