Tampa Bay Rays Pitching Staff With Great 14-Game Stretch

Tampa Bay Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays pitching staff is amid a great 14-game stretch. Their pitchers have allowed three earned runs or fewer in their last 14 games. That is the most such games in franchise history and the longest streak in the league since the Houston Astros had 15 consecutive games in 2022.

The success of Tampa Bay’s pitching staff has led to success on the diamond. They are 11-3 over their last 14 games. Their streak began with a 3-1 home win against the Toronto Blue Jays on May 23. Will the pitching staff of the Tampa Bay Rays keep it up?

Tampa Bay Rays Season Summary

Tampa Bay’s solid stretch of games helped them shoot up the standings. They are tied for second place in the American League East at 34-29. Their offense has been mediocre this year. They are 15th in the league in batting average, 15th in home runs, and 13th in runs scored. First Baseman Jonathan Aranda is sixth in the league in batting average. Third Baseman Junior Caminero is 10th in the league in home runs.

The Rays have been paced by their pitching staff in 2025. They are sixth in ERA, 10th in opposing batting average, and second in WHIP. Starting Pitcher Drew Rasmussen is ninth in the league in ERA and third in WHIP.

Final Thoughts

Tampa Bay’s pitching staff will look to keep it going this afternoon at home against the Miami Marlins. They send Taj Bradley to the bump. He is 4-5 this season with a 3.95 ERA. If the Rays can continue pitching this well, no opponent will want to face them.
