Rays complete 2nd 9-0 West Coast trip in MLB history with 8-4 win over Athletics
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays secured their spot as the second East Coast team in Major League Baseball history to achieve a 9-0 record during a West Coast trip. They achieved this feat by defeating the Athletics 8-4 on Wednesday, thanks to a three-run homer from Liam Hicks and a solid performance by pitcher Drew Rasmussen.
This accomplishment puts them alongside the Boston Red Sox, who achieved the same feat in 1977, as the only teams to accomplish such a remarkable feat. The Rays' victory extended their road winning streak to five games, the longest such streak in franchise history.
