While this week featured a defining moment in Tampa Bay’s season, the Rays have known how good their club is for quite some time. The hot American League East squad will try to sweep its three-game series with the visiting MLB-leading Detroit Tigers in Sunday’s finale. It has been quite a week for the Rays, who have climbed to within 1 1/2 games of the East-leading New York Yankees. The highlight on their seven-game homestand was a stunning 12-8 comeback win Wednesday that saw the home side trailing 8-0 after the Baltimore Orioles plated all eight in an explosive second inning.
