The Tampa Bay Rays defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-2 this afternoon to finish their road trip 4-3. Given that they didn't win a game on their last trip, this was a very good result. It coincides with the Red Sox having trouble at home, and another Boston loss tonight extends the Rays lead to three games.

Carl Crawford picked up two hits, a double and a triple. Crawford's career was progressing nicely, his averages rising every season. With this being his age 26 season, Carl should be breaking out instead of regressing. If he can turn this season around, the Rays could get the offensive boost they need without needing to make a trade.
