The Rays keep going on their second-to-last roadtrip of the year and after being swept in Philadelphia, they picked up a win in Cleveland 5-2.

MAILBAG EPISODE! The Rays have been a .500 team for most of the season, with virtually no chance of getting to the playoffs, let alone be successful in October.

To unpack this very heavy ques…
