Rays (S29) Game 161 - at Philadelphia Phillies (9/26/26)
Tampa Bay (97-63, .606, 1st AL East, 1st AL, 3rd MLB) beat Philadelphia Friday night, 2-0. The loss by the Phillies keeps them in danger of losing the last wild card spot in the National League. Arizona beat San Diego and is one win behind Philly and owns the tiebreaker, so sweeping the Padres might get the Diamondbacks to the postseason if the Phillies can’t win the next two against the Rays or if Arizona splits the Saturday and Sunday games with S.D., then the Phillies would need to win at least one of the next two with the Rays.
The Phillies will try a “bullpen game” against Rays…
