Tampa Bay’s 17-6 record since May 20 is the best in baseball, and the Rays showed a lot of the reasons why Saturday.

Taylor Walls and Yandy Díaz had two hits and two RBIs apiece and the Tampa Bay Rays remained hot with an 8-4 win over the New York Mets.

The New York Mets head into 10 straight games against NL East rival Atlanta and Philadelphia after getting swept in a series for the first time this season.

The Rays (40-32) are currently a dangerous team with 72 games into the season. The team is ranked ninth in the league in runs scored (332), 13th in batting average (.251), and 15th in on-base percentage (.317). Three players have accounted for 10 or more home runs, including 14 from Brandon Lowe and 17 from third baseman Junior Caminero.

Start spreading the news. The Tampa Bay Rays are on fire, and they made some more history on Sunday after pounding the New York Mets 9-0 at Citi Fiel

The Mets’ offense didn’t help their pitchers much either. Despite having traffic on the bases in all but one inning, they failed to score a run. In the end, they left 12 runners stranded and went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

After Sunday’s miserable 9-0 loss to the Rays marked their first time getting swept all year, the Mets are finally facing something resembling adversity.

After being swept for the first time in three games, the Mets will travel to Atlanta to face the Braves as they try to get back on track.
