Rays' Recent Performance


The Rayhawks have encountered difficulties in maintaining consistency on the field. In their latest games against Kansas City Royals, they managed only eight hits and two runs in one game while being shut out completely in another. The team's batting average has hovered around .229, indicating room for improvement as they face the formidable Yankees lineup.


On the mound, Rays' pitchers have had mixed results. While there were moments of brilliance with an ERA of 3.0 during one of their recent matches, other games saw them conceding more runs than desired due to high opponent batting averages and WHIP ratios above 1.2.
