Rays Push Streak, Martinez Takes Mound

0:00It's April 28th. Welcome in. This is MLB News Today, where the game meets AI. I'm Cori with the story. The Tepebe Rays are riding a 5-game winning streak after snatching the opener from the Cleveland Guardians. They're sitting pretty in second place in the American League East, firmly in the playoff hunt with this hot start to the season. In Monday's comeback victory, South Paul Steven Mats delivered a sharp outing, and Outfielder Ryan Vallade lit it up, going three for four with two runs, batted in, including the game winner. Now the Rays' I win number six to grab the series early. Leading the charge on the Mount Tuesday is right-handed Nick Martinez, the free agent pickup who's exceeded every expectation. He's boasting a 2.1-0 ERA over five starts, highlighted by his gym against the Red's eight innings, just one run allowed. Meanwhile, Cleveland counters with 27-year-old Tanner Bibi, who's winless at 0 and 3, with a 4.45 ERA amid some shaking.
