It was an up and down and up again week, as the Rays completed a four game sweep against the Royals, then lost the first two of a three game set in Boston before absolutely destroying the Sox in the series wrap. The 5-2 week allowed the Rays to pull into second in the division (7.5 behind the Yankees) and grab sole possession of the top Wild Card slot.
The schedule is kinda light this week. The Rays have an off day today before traveling to Miami for two games in a resumption of the Citrus Series, take another day off Thursday, then host New York with a chance to really make up some ground against the Yankees.
