- They’ve faced just about everything now – attrition, untimely injuries, mid-game deficits. And none of it can stop the Tampa Bay Rays, who have equaled the greatest start in modern Major League Baseball history.
- Down two runs and reeling after their dominant starting pitcher left Thursday’s game early, the Rays responded with a vengeance, scoring seven fifth-inning runs to stun the Boston Red Sox 9-3 for their 13th straight victory to start the season.
- The Rays can go for a record 14-0 start on Friday night at Toronto when they open a three-game series at Rogers Centre.
