Rays Struggles Continue in Colorado

The Tampa Bay Rays look to bounce back from their disappointing loss against the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.

With the Rays 7-4 loss to the Rockies, the Rays have now dropped 25 of their last 29 games.

Rays Manager Kevin Cash says he likes the way the team played but they need to figure out how to get more runs.

Cash also Says the Rays must utilize more opportunities for scoring. 

Drew Smyly, Tampa Bays starting pitcher Monday night, says the Denver air made pitching tough. 

Nonetheless, the Rays were still able to record their first three-triple game since July of 2009 and their fourth ever.

Last night = our 4th 3-triple game ever.
