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.
Mariners right-hander Luke Weaver (2-5, 6.71 ERA) likely will receive the bulk of the workload as the bullpen looks to fill nine innings.
