Cubs host the Braves to start 3-game series

The Rays aim to leverage recent success, including a sweep of the Nationals, to enhance their wild-card chances in a pivotal home series against the Mariners.

  • On Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays begin a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners at Steinbrenner Field, kicking off their six-game homestand.
  • After winning six of eight, the Rays have gained momentum entering their six-game homestand, boosted by Brandon Lowe, Rays infielder, hitting a club-record-tying fifth career grand slam Sunday.
  • Pitching-Wise, Tampa Bay starts Shane Baz while Seattle sends Luis Castillo; Baz seeks to end an 0-8, 6.58 ERA skid since June 26.
  • A 7-4 win Sunday completed a sweep of the Nationals and put the Rays in position to make the wild-card race interesting for their fans, with Tampa Bay at 67-69 as the series begins Monday.
  • The Mariners showed mixed form, as Randy Arozarena hit a two-run homer in their 4-2 win Sunday and Luis Castillo holds an experienced edge with a prior win against the Rays.
