The Tampa Bay Rays are doing a good job of creating some separation between themselves and the Baltimore Orioles, while at the same time keeping within striking distance of the first-place Boston Red Sox in the AL East. Even though it's not September yet, the Rays don't intend to wait around to make their run at the top. Alex Cobb took a two-hitter into the seventh inning, Matt Joyce drove in three runs and Tampa Bay beat the Orioles 7-4 Tuesday night for its sixth win in seven games.
