ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays were due -- make that overdue -- to break out of their collective slump. They entered the second game vs. the White Sox having been shut out in consecutive games and on a 19-inning scoreless streak.
The slumber is over as the Rays' bats woke up to the tune of a season-high seven runs to beat Chicago, 7-2, on Saturday night.
Brandon Guyer set the table in the third inning with his first homer of the season -- ending 21 innings of the Rays not touching home plate.
The Rays broke out the following inning with three more runs.
