The Rays exploded in the fourth inning with a five-run surge that started with a solo home run by TB 3B Junior Caminero—his 16th of the season. That momentum carried through with a sacrifice bunt by TB SS Taylor Walls, followed by a pair of RBI singles from TB 2B Brandon Lowe and 1B Yandy Díaz. A wild pitch and an error by Mets starter Tylor Megill compounded the damage. Tampa Bay added another run in the fifth on a double by SS Walls. The Mets answered with RBIs from SS Ronny Mauricio and OF Brandon Nimmo, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the early deficit. Rays starter Drew Rasmussen earned the win, going five innings with four earned runs, three strikeouts, and one walk. The Rays’ bullpen shut down the Mets for the final four innings. Megill, who took the loss, was charged with six runs—three earned—across 3 ⅔ innings, and his ERA has now climbed to 5.79 over his last eight starts. This loss reflects broader issues for the Mets, whose pitching staff is dealing with injuries and inconsistency, including a hamstring issue for NYM SP Kodai Senga and continued struggles from SP Frankie Montas. Meanwhile, the Rays have surged to a 17–6 record since May 20, the best in MLB during that span, thanks to their balanced offense and aggressive play. The teams will face off again on June 15, with the Mets looking to salvage a game at home while the Rays aim for a sweep. New York (M) is now 45-26 and sits in 1st place in the NL East, as well as the NL. Tampa Bay is now 38-32 and sits in 2nd place in the AL East. Reds Notch 4 HRs; Top Tigers o The Cincinnati Reds crushed the Detroit Tigers 11–1 on Saturday afternoon at Comerica Park, riding a wave of explosive offense and a dominant outing from CIN PSP Brady Singer. The game was quiet until the fourth inning when CIN SS Elly De La Cruz launched his 15th home run of the season to open the scoring. The Tigers briefly answered with an RBI single from OF Wenceel Pérez, but that was the last time they’d get on the board. In the fifth, the Reds blew the game open with a six-run rally, highlighted by CIN 1B Tyler Stephenson’s massive grand slam. CIN 1B Spencer Steer added a solo homer in the same inning, and CIN 2B Matt McLain put the exclamation mark on the win with a three-run blast in the eighth. CIN SP Brady Singer was sharp, allowing just one run over six innings while striking out four, improving to 7–4 on the season. On the other side, Tigers starter Jack Flaherty struggled,...Morehttps://www.pcf.org/homerunchallenge/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/hrc_social-share_2024sg_01.jpg1200630
