Can Rays Finish Trip Unbeaten?
Tampa Bay has only finished a multi-city road trip unbeaten once in franchise history: in 2014, when they swept a three-game series in Minnesota, followed by a two-game set in St. Louis from July 18-23. The Rays can become the first team to sweep a multi-city road trip this year and the first since Cleveland went 6-0 in Pittsburgh and Detroit from August 14-19, 2020.
