Yandy Diaz continues to be an offensive force
Yet again the Tampa Bay Rays faced one of the best teams in baseball and yet again came away with a series victory. This time it was the Detroit Tigers that fell to the Rays, as Tampa Bay took two of the three game set.
The Rays offense surged during the first two games of the series as they put up a total of 22 runs over the 16 frames they came up to bat. They were led by the player who holds the franchise record for most plate appearances from the number one spot in the order, Yandy Diaz, our Player of the Series.
