Rays losing streak at Globe Life Field extends to 8
There were two first inning offerings Taj Bradley wishes he could get back after Marcus Semien and Jake Burger homered to start Saturday night’s contest in Arlington.
However, if wishes were fishes, the world would be an ocean.
After settling in, Bradley’s next four innings were quite masterful, allowing no hits while striking out seven.
In the meantime, the Rays fought an uphill battle facing Jacob deGrom with a 4-0 deficit.
Tampa Bay slipped on their boots and got to work, as Brandon Lowe hit a solo shot to supplant him at third on the Rays’ all-time home run list.

In the sixth, Jonathan Aranda worked an eight-pitch at-bat to stroke a two-run shot off the right field foul pole and bring the Rays within one.

Curtis Mead’s first hit of the season would weigh heavy, as it came via the way of a game-tying RBI double to knot things at four deep in the heart of Texas.
In the seventh, Mason Montgomery would surrender the dagger, as Wyatt Langford hit a wall-scraping two-run go-ahead homer over the left field fence to put the Rangers ahead 6-4.
Tampa Bay tries to halt the losing streak at Globe Life Field at eight tomorrow, as Drew Rasmussen faces off against rookie Kumar Rocker at 2:35 PM EST.
