Wheels loose?
Are the wheels coming off the Ray's wagon or are the lugnuts just loose?
CLEVELAND (AP)—The All-Star break couldn’t come at a better time for the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Rays hope to rest, regroup, then resume baseball’s feel-good story after finishing the first half on a sour note.
Jhonny Peralta drove in three runs and the Cleveland Indians beat Scott Kazmir and Tampa Bay 5-2 Sunday, handing the Rays their season-worst seventh straight loss and dropping them out of first in the AL East.
“I hate what just happened this week, but we’re sitting in a very good spot,” Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said.
The Rays’ skid is their longest since an eight-game losing streak last July. They had won seven in a row to open a five-game lead last Monday.
“We totally massacred our seven-game winning streak,” said Maddon, adding that he’ll meet with the club Thursday before opening the second half with a six-game homestand.
