Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 20:13:00 GMT

The Rays lose the last game of the series to the Blue Jays 5-1. The Rays once again found themselves trailing early. The Blue Jays got on the board first with a long homer in the 2nd to make it 1-0.

Then another 2 in the 7th to make it 5-1. The Rays offense only mustered 5 hits and outside of the 4th inning could not put much together. The Rays finish this home stand a surprising 2-5 and will head back on the road tomorrow to play the Orioles.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays SURVIVE a big comeback attempt from the Toronto Blue Jays

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 01:46:04 GMT

The Rays hold on to beat the Blue Jays 7-6. The Rays for just the 2nd time this home stand scored first. They got on the board with a 2 run 1st inning homer by Yandy Diaz to make it 2-0. The Jays would get on the board in the 4th to cut the lead in half to 2-1. But the Rays would have a massive bottom of the 4th to take a huge lead. They put up 5 runs in the inning highlighted by a 2 RBI double by Richie Palacios and two bunt singles by Chandler Simpson and Taylor Walls. But the Blue Jays comeback would start right away. The Blue Jays put up 4 runs in the 5th to immediately cut the Rays lead to 7-5. Another run in the 7th made it 7-6. But the Rays bullpen would come up clutch at the end to seal the win. The Rays will look to take the series tomorrow afternoon.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays PITCHING WOES CONTINUE vs The Toronto Blue Jays

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 01:51:04 GMT

The Rays drop the first game of the series to the Blue Jays 10-5. The Blue Jays got on the Rays early and often. It started with two 2 out runs in the top of the first to make it 2-0. Then they added a 2 run homer in the 3rd to make it 4-0. The Blue Jays added another 2 runs in that 4th inning to make it 6-0. The Rays offense would perform well tonight despite the loss. They added 3 runs in the bottom of the 4th highlighted by a Taylor Walls 2 RBI single to make it 6-3. But right when the offense got a little momentum the pitching staff would give those runs right back up. The Blue Jays put up 2 more runs in the 5th to make it 8-3. They added another 2 in the 7th to make it 10-3. The Rays would put up 2 in the 8th to try and come back but it was too little too late. The Rays will look to bounce back tomorrow night vs the Blue Jays.

Tampa Bay Rays SWEEP THROUGH the West Coast, As Newfound POWER Ignite Playoff Push

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 22:30:11 GMT

Tampa Bay Rays stun MLB with a perfect 9-0 West Coast road trip, surging to a commanding AL East lead. Can this streak carry them to a division crown?

Ulises Sambrano, Kevin Weiss, and Channel 10 WTSP Sports Director Evan Closky break down the Rays’ red-hot chemistry, spotlighting Junior Caminero’s home run barrage, Chandler Simpson’s stolen base race, and Victor Mesa Jr. 's breakout power.

Key questions arise over the team’s depth, the looming September gauntlet against contenders like the Texas Rangers, and injured aces Shane McClanahan and Griffin Jax’s roles down the stretch.

Debate heats up around Carson Williams’ upside and fan impatience, as well as the future batting title prospects for Chandler Simpson. Can the Rays’ new power surge fuel a World Series run, or will a brutal schedule threaten their charge?

The show closes with must-listen baseball trivia—including the legendary 40-homer club and underrated catcher Ramón Hernández.

RAYS POSTCAST: The Tampa Bay Rays CAP OFF an UNDEFEATED road trip with a win vs The A's

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 22:14:30 GMT

The Rays win their 9th straight game, beating the A's 8-4. The Rays once again would get off to a fast start. It would be Richie Palacios getting the party started with a RBI single in the 2nd to make it 1-0. The Rays added another run on a RBI ground out to make it 2-0. The Rays extended their lead in the 3rd on a Cedric Mullins RBI double to make it 3-0. The A's would get back into it with a 2 run 3rd to make it 3-2. But the Rays would put the game out of reach in the 4th inning. It started with a RBI single by Junior Caminero to make it 4-2. But the big swing came off the bat of Liam Hicks. He belted a 3 run homer to make it 7-2. The Rays would add another run in the 8th on a Yandy Diaz RBI single to make it 8-2. The A's added 2 runs in the 8th but it was to little to late. The Rays will head back home and look to extend their winning streak Friday night.
