Rays Swept in Crushing Three-Game Skid

The Tampa Bay Rays just suffered their first sweep of the season — and it wasn’t pretty. After a brutal 13-inning marathon loss on Monday, followed by shutouts on Tuesday and Wednesday, the offense went cold and the pitching staff crumbled. Steven Matz surrendered five runs in the first inning, his worst start in months, while Jonathan Heasley, called up from Triple-A, gave up five himself in his first big-league outing since 2022. Frustration was palpable as the team, used to winning, struggled to find answers. Manager Kevin Cash credited the Orioles’ disciplined early at-bats and the Rays’ inability to respond. But the Rays aren’t backing down — they’ve built a cushion earlier in the season and see this as a temporary bump. The focus now? Regroup, reset, and get back to winning baseball.
