‘It’s time to turn it on’: Rays head to Toronto with postseason berth within their grasp
TORONTO — The Rays never play music over the speaker system inside the clubhouse after a loss. “We have way too much to be proud about to sit here and treat it like another loss because we knew good things were coming.” Since then, the Rays have won three straight games, including a two-game sweep of the Yankees, to put themselves in solid position to clinch their first postseason berth since 2013 as they head into the final regular-season series. “Low-scoring games where we can prevent other teams from scoring, that’s our model.” Ji-Man Choi celebrates with teammates at home plate after his walk-off home run in the 12th inning Tuesday night against the Yankees at Tropicana Field. Díaz’s timetable is still unclear, but it was an encouraging sign for the Rays this week when he fielded ground balls for the first time since being sidelined at the end of July. Sure, we might be young across the room, but we’re building momentum and you can’t replace that experience.” Tampa Bay played all season in preparation for these final three games in Toronto.
