Rays Sweep West, Set Historic Streak | MLB News

The Tampa Bay Rays just pulled off a historic nine-game road sweep out West, becoming only the second East Coast team ever to do it—and the first since the 1977 Red Sox.

The Rays are now 74-46 and looking sharp ahead of their next series against Baltimore, while the struggling A’s head home to face Texas, desperate to snap their skid.
