TAMPA, Fla. — How quickly the narrative can change for the Tampa Bay Rays offense. Just two days after setting a franchise record with 14 runs in three innings, the Rays were shut out by four Boston Red Sox pitchers on Wednesday night, losing 1-0 at Steinbrenner Field. All the Rays could muster were five measly singles, and that was it. No one scored, obviously, but the Rays also never even got a runner to third base all night. Fourteen of their last 15 hitters made outs.

TAMPA, Fla — Tampa Bay Rays starter Ryan Pepiot got roughed up by the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night. He gave up six runs and nine hits — both career highs — in a 7-4 loss at Steinbrenner Field. That was very much out of character for Pepiot, who joined the Rays in early 2024 as part of the Tyler Glasnow trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He's been very good since arriving in Florida, going 17 consecutive starts allowing three earned runs or fewer before Tuesday night's outing ended the streak.

At long last, the 2025 NBA playoffs are here. Six months of regular season drama has led to an intense shootout for the league championship. It starts on Tuesday night with the Play-In Tournament as eight teams fight for the final four spots in the round of 16. The Boston Celtics are the defending champions, but it's the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder that have earned the No. 1 seeds in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference, respectively.

TAMPA, Fla. — You don't get any bonus points or asterisks in the win column when you win a division game. Monday night's 16-1 win by the Tampa Bay Rays over American League East rival Boston just counts for one W. But we also know better. They Rays' win also means a loss for the Red Sox, and in the bunched-up AL East — all five teams are separated by just 2.5 games — that does indeed matter.

TAMPA, Fla. — No, we won't go there. We won't purposely use Boston and massacre in the same sentence. But it certainly could have applied with how Monday night's game between the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox played out. The Rays' bats exploded for 16 runs and 16 hits — including a season-high nine runs in the third inning — and cruised to an easy 16-1 win in the first game of a three-game series at Steinbrenner Field.
