Rays Host Reds in Homecoming Series

0:00It's April 21st, MLB News today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Cory with the story. The Tevave Rays wrapped up a strong road week with a four-and-two record, sweeping the Yankees and White Sox before splitting with the Pirates. That six-game win streak showed their grit, and now they're finally heading home to Tropicana Field, after playing most games away early on. They've stayed right in the mix, neck and neck with the Yankees for the top spot in the American League East, despite the Tevave travel schedule. Fans are buzzing about this homecoming vibe, especially since the Rays have thrived on the road so far this season. Kicking off Monday, April 20th, at 6.40pm, Eastern, they host the Cincinnati Reds. Tampa's going with opener Cole Solser, and then Jesse Shelton's, who just earned his first win last week by tossing five innings with only one hit against the White Sox. The Reds counter with their 24-year-old, Ridey Rett Lauder, who's two-in-one with a 3.54 ERA

1:00and 15 strikeouts in. Four starts. Cincinnati's young squad has surprised everyone with their hot start. This series could set the tone as the Rays settle in and home against another solid National League Central team. Expect some fireworks under the dome.
