For the first time since July 22, The Tampa Bay Rays are back atop the American League East.
Entering tonight, Tampa Bay was 1.0 games back of the Baltimore Orioles as they face off for the second time in their four game set.
The Rays played like they had a point to prove, holding the Orioles to one run on two hits en route to showing what they’re capable on offense.
It’s safe to say Zach Eflin had everything working tonight, as he gave up only one run on one hit, both coming from Heston Kjerstad’s first homer as a major leaguer, a solo shot in the sixth inning.
