The Tampa Bay Rays have grown accustomed to lighting up the scoreboard, and they look to do so again on Friday when they begin a three-game series versus the Toronto Blue Jays in Buffalo, N.Y.
The Rays extended their winning streak to six games on Thursday with a 17-8 rout of the Red Sox in Boston. All told, Tampa Bay set franchise records in runs (42), hits (59) and extra-base hits (24) during a four-game series against the Red Sox.
Gaudy numbers to be certain, but let's try this on for size: Sahlen Field, which normally houses the Blue Jays' Triple-A affiliate, has yielded 11 home runs in its first pair of games as a Major League Baseball venue.
