0 of their last 15 games. Zach Britton (11-11) served up seven hits and five runs over 4 1/3 innings to take the loss. Tonight it will be Lester, who has lost his last three starts and was tattooed for eight runs in just 2 2/3 innings by the New York Yankees on Saturday. However, he is an amazing 14-0 lifetime versus the Baltimore Orioles with a 2.33 ERA in 17 starts. "He's been doing a lot of flat ground, and he's playing catch," Francona said Tuesday. "But at this point in the season, there's

ed hitter Johnny Damon said. ``It's been a fun ride and hopefully it continues.''

The Rays' improbable bid for a third playoff berth in four years comes down to the final day of the regular season after Tuesday night's 5-3 victory over the New York Yankees left them tied for the wild card with Boston. The reeling Red Sox held off the Baltimore Orioles 8-7.

If the teams remain tied after Wednesday night's season finales, they will meet in a one-game playoff at Tropicana Field on Thursday afte

Triple play, Joyce HR keep Rays tied for wild card lead Tue Sep 27 22:57:09 2011 EST
A triple play in the sixth inning kept the Rays from getting too far behind, and Matt Joyce's seventh-inning homer put them in front. Both plays likely saved their season. Joyce's three-run blast was the difference as Tampa Bay defeated the New York Yankees, 5-3, to stay tied on top of the race for the American League wild card berth. Because of Boston's 8-7 defeat of Baltimore on Tuesday, the Rays and Red Sox remained even for the lead with one game to go. A September-long slump by the Red Sox
Rays turn triple play against Yankees Tue Sep 27 21:12:20 2011 EST
St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - The Tampa Bay Rays turned a crucial triple play during the sixth inning of Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. With the Yankees leading, 3-2, and nobody out with the bases full, catcher Russell Martin grounded a ball toward third base, tight to the line. Evan Longoria grabbed the ball as he stepped on the bag to quickly record the first out, then fired to Ben Zobrist for the second. Zobrist's relay to Sean Rodriguez at first completed the play and

As the Rays finished up a 5-2 win over the New York Yankees, the Red Sox dropped a 6-3 decision at Baltimore to leave both teams with identical 89-71 records. Boston, which is 6-19 in September, is back at Camden Yards Tuesday night with late-season acquisition Erik Bedard on the mound, while Tampa B

Condolences to Weaver, and especially Sabathia, who anchored a New York Yankees team to first place in the AL East despite gaping holes in the rest of the rotation. Dan Haren of the Los Angeles Angels and CJ Wilson of the Texas Rangers should also find themselves on the backend of the ballot. The National League race sh

Coupled with Tampa Bay's 5-2 victory over the New York Yankees, the Rays and Sox enter action tonight with identical 89-71 records with two games remaining.

(Sports Network) - The Tampa Bay Rays shoot for a fourth straight win this evening but more importantly try to grab sole possession of first place in the wild card standings when they continue a three-game series with the New York Yankees at Tropicana Field. The Rays were nine games behind Boston back on September 2, but thanks to an epic collapse by the Red Sox now find themselves tied with them with two games to go.

Tampa Bay tied Boston for the wild card lead Monday night, beating the New York Yankees 5-2 behind eight-plus innings from James Shields and a couple of hits from B.J. Upton, including a two-run double. The Rays entered the game trailing Boston by one game for the AL wild card lead and pulled even after the Red Sox lost to the
