Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Pennant Chase Baseball.
The Rays entered Monday three games out of the final playoff spot, and facing the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers this week, respectively. If they aspire to bring “Troptober” across the bridge, it has to start soon.
The tone was set early with a two-run shot by Junior Caminero in the first.

In the bottom half, Drew Rasmussen walked in two runs in a 32-pitch inning
to knot the score.
In the fifth, Josh Lowe singled in Yandy Diaz to pull Tampa Bay ahead 3-2, and Diaz supplied the insurance with a sacrifice fly in the eighth to make it 4-2.
Pete Fairbanks came on for a four-out save, and the Rays take game one from the Bronx.
