The Rays win a few games and maybe you start to feel better about this team. If you squint you can see a road to the postseason. Maybe even a team that could get lucky in a 3 game Wild Card series. And then you get a game like this.
Their losing streak has hit six games. They’re 59-63 on the season. And they’ve now lost 14 of their last 15 games at home, something that hasn’t been done since 1901. Right-hander Landen Roupp pitched three-plus innings in his first start back from the injured list, allowing five earned runs and striking out five batters.
Yandy Diaz broke a ninth-inning tie with an RBI single, Junior Caminero launched his 35th home run and the visiting Tampa Bay Rays beat the San Francisco Giants 7-6 on Friday night in what turned into a battle of bullpens.
BOTTOM LINE: The San Francisco Giants look to stop their six-game home slide with a win against the Tampa Bay Rays. San Francisco has a 29-32 record at home and a 59-63 record overall. The Giants have a 26-44 record in games when they have given up at least one home run.
