If it feels like the Baltimore Orioles have accomplished something historic these past couple years, there are some numbers that back that up. That was the New York Giants, way back at the beginning of the modern era. But Baltimore, which clinched a playoff berth Sunday, could still join the Giants with an improvement of over .300. There's actually a Baltimore connection to those New York Giants. The Baltimore franchise then moved to New York and became the Highlanders, who would eventually be called the Yankees.

The Rays have 20 games to go and sit four games back of the first-place Baltimore Orioles in the competitive American League East. "I think everybody is just focused because we need to win and win no matter what," Ramirez said. But if the Mariners continue to falter and frustration continues to build, it could derail some of the success that Seattle has established throughout the season. Rays right-hander Aaron Civale (7-3, 2.76 ERA) is set to make his 20th start of the season.

August 16 - Right-hander Aaron Civale will shoot for his first victory as a Tampa Bay Ray in his first visit to Oracle Park as the San Francisco Giants host the finale of a three-game interleague series on Wednesday afternoon. He tossed two shutout innings in that role on Monday, his first career appearance against the Rays. That was the only previous time Civale has faced San Francisco. The arrival of Civale coincided with the loss of Rays ace Shane McClanahan, who is now scheduled for season-ending Tommy John surgery. The Rays also have lost outfielder Manuel Margot during the course of the San Francisco series.

☆ Wander Franco: Tampa Bay Rays shortstop steps away from team as MLB investigates social media posts

CNN —Tampa Bay Rays All-Star shortstop Wander Franco will not be with the team during its current road trip due to the situation surrounding social media posts involving Franco, the Rays said Monday. Tampa Bay and Franco have mutually agreed that he’ll be placed on the Restricted List, administrative leave that allows Franco to not count against the 26-man roster. Additionally, Major League Baseball is investigating the posts, an MLB official told CNN on Monday. Neither MLB nor the Rays gave any details on the posts. “We support any steps taken by the league to better understand the situation,” the Rays said in a statement.

August 7 - The Boston Red Sox will attempt to end a four-game losing streak and pull themselves back into the American League wild-card race when they open a four-game series against the visiting Kansas City Royals on Monday. The Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep of the Red Sox with a 13-1 victory on Sunday. "Tough weekend," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. Kansas City acquired Ragans, 25, in the trade that sent Aroldis Chapman to the Texas Rangers in June. The Royals recalled Ragans from Triple-A to start against the Mets last Wednesday, when he tossed six scoreless innings in Kansas City's 4-0 victory.
