After defeating the Baltimore Orioles last night our Tampa Bay Rays have clinched a playoff spot!

We can celebrate BUT the Rays still have some work to do. This year’s playoffs is going to be a little different, instead of four teams there will be eight from each league. They are currently three-and-a-half games up on the New York Yankees for the division title with just nine games left to play in the regular season and just a half-game back from the Chicago White Sox for the number one seed. It’s an incredible time to live in the Tampa Bay Area with two incredible teams, Tampa Bay Rays and Lightning are making us proud!
