Thomas Shea-Imagn Images Coming into this Sunday matchup the Rays were playing with house money. Already securing the series split on the road vs a good Astros team in Houston. After they were able to get to Hunter Brown back in Tampa under a sweltering sun, the young Cy Young candidate was not going to be an easy task to topple twice. And well, Brown was...good is a strong word. How about Brown was effectively wild? At one point Brown had thrown 40 strikes and 40 balls.

Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images There’s been two previous sweeps in George Steinbrenner Field as a major league park. Both went against the Rays. Finally, it’s the Rays side of things that get into the fun of busting out the brooms. Taking the full series vs the Jays securing 5 wins in a row and back-to-back strong series for a Rays team that has been searching for some home cooking. Today, it was a whole damn buffet. Everything that could go right for the Rays was rocking and rolling.

Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images The Rays are in such a weird spot right now. It’s easy to claim that they are just a bad team. It’s easy to just lament this is the same song and dance from 2024. But the reality is far stranger. Tonight, much like the rest of the season, the Rays hit extra base hits, they had RISP, they got a quality start from the starter, and they had ample opportunities to flip the script. That’s the way the 2025 Rays have played! this is not the 2024 Rays.
