The Latest Breaking News from Randy Arozarena

MINNEAPOLIS — Randy Arozarena on a routine day can be one of the most exciting and impactful players on the field for the Rays.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Rays have been insisting it was just a matter of time until their offense broke out of an extended slump.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jeffrey Springs has done a lot right since moving into the Tampa Bay rotation on May 9. In making his fourth start Friday, Springs made just a few mistakes, allowing a pair of solo home runs.

BALTIMORE — Randy Arozarena has a thing for the Orioles.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — After calling out the hitters for being in “a team rut” on Monday, Rays manager Kevin Cash said before Tuesday’s game it would take a group effort to break out of it.

Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash might have been wise to take a page out of Joe Maddon’s playbook and walk Shohei Ohtani intentionally with the bases loaded in the seventh inning Monday night, just like the Angels manager did with Texas Rangers slugger Corey Seager on April 16.

SEATTLE — The Rays kept coming back on Friday, and they eventually came out on top.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Tuesday’s game featured a rough return to the rotation by Ryan Yarbrough, another stellar bullpen outing, a dramatic game-tying homer in the ninth inning by Mike Zunino and a very happy ending.
