The Tampa Bay Rays are in the midst of a truly memorable campaign, one that's already etched their name in the MLB history books. Through their first 100 games, Tampa Bay became just the third team since 1901 to notch at least 110 home runs and 125 stolen bases while maintaining a winning record. That elite trio now includes the 1995 Reds, the 2009 Rays, and this dynamic 2025 squad. The question now is: Can they keep the momentum going and continue to chase history down the stretch?

While they currently sit in fourth place in the ultra-competitive AL East, the Rays are very much in the playoff hunt, trailing the final American League wild card spot by just a game and a half. Their offense has been firing on all cylinders, ranking third in team batting average, eighth in total runs, and despite sitting 14th in homers, they've been manufacturing offense in creative, efficient ways.

A big reason for their success? Junior Caminero has taken a massive leap forward. The breakout third baseman is among the league leaders in both long balls and RBIs. Meanwhile, first baseman Jonathan Aranda has quietly climbed the leaderboard in batting average.

GOAL has everything you need to know about the Rays' upcoming MLB games, with everything you need to know from when it is played, who the opponent is, what ballpark will be hosting and what TV channel you can watch it on.
