The Tampa Bay Rays just wrapped their first two series of the season, dropping both to the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers, leaving them at two wins and four losses. Now they head into the final leg of a grueling road trip against the Minnesota twins. Earlier this week, the Rays finished that tough opening stretch with some mixed signals after week one.
