If you were not taking Tampa Bay seriously this season, you may want to reconsider.  They are certainly a well built team that’s been years in the makings. The Tampa Bay Rays (68-45) beat the Cleveland Indians (49-64) 10-7 Wednesday night to remain 3 games ahead of the Boston Red Sox in the AL East race. The Rays were down 7-4 entering the bottom half of the ninth inning when there massive rally began. Carlos Pena topped off the 6 run inning with his own 3 run walk off homerun off of Cleveland reliever Masa Kobayashi. Another homerun by Gabe Gross was hit in the inning, which tied the game at 7. The win pulls the Rays closer to the 70 win mark, something that they remarkably haven’t done in any of the last 10 seasons. Rays manager Joe Madden had this to say about the game: “Probably the most exciting win I’ve been involved with here.”  Masa Kobayashi (4-5) was charged with the loss, and Troy Percival (2-0) was given the win.
