With a thumping 10-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, the Tampa Bay Rays put an end to their losing streak. The Rays, who have been sluggish in recent weeks after a 13-0 start to the season, lost the battle against Atlanta on Saturday but bounced back the next day. Tampa halted a season-high, seven-game skid in another matchup of teams with the best records in baseball, with Isaac Paredes and Yandy D'az homered.

Justin Verlander, the ace of the New York Mets, made his long-awaited Citi Field debut on Tuesday, and it went about as horribly as one could imagine. In his third start for the Mets, the 40-year-old Verlander (1-2) pitched both long balls to Isaac Paredes and was tagged for six runs on eight hits over five innings, resulting in his serenaded with a chorus of boos. As the Tampa Bay Rays romped to an 8-5 win on the night, Paredes homered twice and drove in five runs, ruining Verlander's home debut.

During Tampa Bay's six-run second inning, Isaac Paredes earned his first slam, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Oakland Athletics 9-5 on Friday night, extending their season-opening win streak to seven games. According to STATS LLC, the Rays are the first major league team to win each of their first seven games by four or more runs since the 1884 St. Louis Maroons of the Union Association. The Maroons' season-opening season lasted 13 games. There hasn't been a big league team with a winning streak in more than four years. For Tampa Bay, Harold Ramrez, Manuel Margot, Christian Bethancourt, and Wander Franco were all homered. Zach Eflin (2-0) was out for three runs in over six innings.

In a matinee match against the Blue Jays, the Tampa Bay Rays made baseball history by fielding MLB's first ever all-Latino lineup in a matinee game. What's more, the historic event took place on the 21st annual Roberto Clemente Day, which honors the life of the Puerto Rican hero and Pittsburgh Pirates legend, who tragically died in a plane crash a half century ago. Yandy Diaz and Randy Arozarena of Cuba, Manuel Margot and Jose Siri, Manuel Margot and Jose Siri of the Domincan Republic, Colombia's Harold Ramirez, Venezuela's David Perez and Rene Pinto, and Mexico's Isaac Paredes were among the Rays lineup participants on Thursday.
