Rays Extend Lead With Extra-Innings Win | San Diego Padres News

The Tampa Bay Rays just pulled off a dramatic three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres in extra innings, clinching their 82nd win and extending their AL East lead to 4.5 games over the Yankees. Drew Rasmussen anchored the pitching with six strong innings, but it was the bullpen’s flawless five-inning shutout that sealed the deal — including Tyler Wells’ third win. Junior Caminero tied the AL home run lead with his 37th blast, while Jonny Deluca delivered a clutch two-run homer off Padres closer Mason Miller to force extras. The Rays’ four-game winning streak is heating up as they prepare for a critical September push, culminating in a showdown against the Mets this week — with Ian Seymour on the mound Monday at 6:40 PM ET.
