Red-Hot Tampa Bay Rays Soaring Into Series With Orioles
Red-Hot Tampa Bay Rays Soaring Into Series With Orioles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Forget all that talk about the struggling Tampa Bay Rays. They are not even close to struggling right now, winning 18 of their last 24 games. Tampa Bay is coming off an impressive three-game sweep of the New York Mets at Citi Field. Advertisement With this surge, it's no wonder that Rays manager Kevin Cash is extremely pleased with his team's performance. Shane Baz provided a huge boost to the Rays' bullpen, working deep into a 9-0 win on Sunday against the Mets. 'We are playing good baseball. I'm very encouraged by the way we played - offense, defense and pitching,' Cash said after Sunday's win, reported. 'To do that against this quality Mets team, everything has to go right like it did for the most part.' Tampa Bay Rays dominated New York Mets with solid starting pitching, clutch hitting Tampa Bay jumped on Mets pitchers all game long, eventually getting a six-run lead in the fifth inning. Jonathan Aranda's double down the right-field line scored Josh Lowe and Junior Caminero. But Caminero had a little Father's Day love to send out to his father, who was watching from the Citi Field stands. Caminero slammed a three-run homer in the ninth inning, putting a cap on an excellent weekend in New York. Advertisement Cash understands that his team is still looking up at the New York Yankees, who sit in first place in the American League East Division. He knows that there is still a lot of work to do before even talking about postseason play. 'The Yankees are a very good team, but we have to control what we can and that's kind of staying series to series," Cash said. "We did a good job of resetting after the Red Sox series to come to [Citi Field] after the off-day and play well. Now we have to go home and do that in the Orioles series.' The Baltimore Orioles come to George M. Steinbrenner Field on Monday night to start a three-game series against the Rays.

Baz leads Rays to 9-0 win for first 3-game series sweep of Mets this season
Shane Baz combined with three relievers on a five-hitter, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat New York 9-0 on Sunday to complete the first three-game series sweep of the Mets this season. Baz (6-3) allowed three hits and four walks in 6 2/3 innings while striking out six and throwing a career-high 106 pitches. He held the Mets hitless in 12 plate appearances with runners on base. Jonathan Aranda's two-run double in the fifth off Max Kranick blew open the game for the Rays, who outscored the Mets 24-9 in the series. New York pitchers walked a season-high nine as the Mets were dealt their most lopsided loss this season and were swept in a series for the first time since last Aug. 9-11 at Seattle. The Rays had 28 hits and 15 walks in the series, and they were retired in order just four times. Kameron Misner, Danny Jansen and Jake Mangum had an RBI apiece before Junior Caminero hit a three-run homer in the ninth against Ryne Stanek. Griffin Canning (6-3) allowed six runs, four hits and a season-high five walks over 4 1/3 innings. Canning has a 6.75 ERA in his last five starts after posting a 2.47 ERA in his first nine starts. Key moment Baz struck out Pete Alonso to leave the bases loaded in the third. Key stat New York was playing its 23rd series, the deepest into a season they'd gone before getting swept since 2006. Up next Mets: LHP David Peterson (5-2, 2.49 ERA) opens a six-game trip Tuesday at Atlanta and RHP Spencer Schwellenbach (5-4, 3.11), who are both coming off complete games. Rays: RHP Ryan Pepiot (3-6, 3.31 ERA) starts Monday, when the Rays return home to start a four-game set against Baltimore.

Shane Baz helps Rays complete sweep of Mets
June 15 - Shane Baz pitched 6 2/3 effective innings and Jonathan Aranda hit a two-run double in the fifth inning after scoring the first run in a three-run second inning as the visiting Tampa Bay Rays continued their surge with a 9-0 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday afternoon. Baz (6-3) held the Mets to three hits during his second-longest start of the season and New York's top four hitters of Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo, Juan Soto and Pete Alonso were a combined 1-of-9 against him. Baz threw a career-high 106 pitches, won his third straight decision and the Rays won with him on the mound for the fifth straight time. Baz struck out six and issued two of his four walks to Soto. Baz's biggest strikeout occurred when he got Alonso on a foul tip with the bases loaded to end the fourth and protect a 4-0 lead. After getting three hits in the opener on Friday, Aranda helped the Rays become the first team to sweep the Mets this season. Aranda opened the second by drawing a walk and scored the first run when Kameron Misner grounded out. Danny Jansen added an RBI single in the second when New York's Griffin Canning threw 33 pitches. Misner scored on a wild pitch to the backstop and Junior Caminero scored on a grounder in the fourth when Jake Magnum beat out a double play. The Rays knocked Canning out when Caminero walked with one out in the fifth, putting runners at second and third. Aranda followed by lining a 1-1 fastball from reliever Max Kranick down the right field line for a 6-0 lead. Caminero capped Tampa Bay's big day with a three-run homer in the ninth after also homering in Saturday's 8-4 win. The Rays won for the 18th time in 24 games, scored 24 runs in the series and drew a season-best nine walks. Canning (6-3) allowed six runs on four hits in 4 1/3 innings. The right-hander struck out two and issued five of New York's season-high nine walks. The Mets lost three straight for the second time this season and were shutout for the fourth time this season. --Field Level Media
