This was a team that was displaced from their home stadium for a year, and winning in the first game back was meaningful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6m\">Furthermore, it was the offense that helped provide the spark for the team. Jonathan Aranda, Junior Caminero, and Cedric Mullins were all able to hit home runs in a nice offensive barrage for Tampa Bay. Production offensively was certainly a concern for the team coming into the year, but this group has done better than expected so far, especially at the top of the order.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6p\">Furthermore, after a lot of concerns with the bullpen in the first couple of series, this unit has been able to weather some injuries and has been better of late. Now, the Rays will be seeking a series win against the Cubs, and they can accomplish that on Tuesday with a win. Here\u2019s how to watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Who: Chicago Cubs vs. Tampa Bay RaysWhen: Tuesday, April 7th, 6:40 PM EST\u00a0Where: Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, FLTelevision: Rays.TVRadio: WDAE 95.7 FM, WQBN\/1300AMPitching Matchup:\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01knmdagxffjykk2qrdt.jpg\" alt=\"Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen throwing a pitch\" title=\"Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen throwing a pitch\" width=\"6012\" height=\"3381\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"7h\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen  | Michael McLoone-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7l\">Following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/rays\/onsi\/news\/return-of-rays-star-pitcher-has-yielded-mixed-results\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Shane McClanahan<\/a> getting the start for the Rays in their home opener, he will be followed by All-Star Drew Rasmussen on the mound. As their star southpaw continues to work his way back into form following missing so much time, this duo could be excellent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7o\">So far this season, Rasmussen has made two starts and has yet to record a decision. However, the numbers have been strong for him with a 1.80 ERA and 10 strikeouts. Even though he hasn\u2019t factored in a decision yet, the numbers have been good, and he has been generating a solid number of swings and misses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Update for Rays: <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Rays?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#Rays<\/a> Drew Rasmussen has been scratched from today\u2019s start with his wife, Stevie, expecting their second child.

Chicago got off to a bit of a slower start than they would have liked, and they dropped the opener to the Rays already as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"80\">With a 5-5 record so far, the Rays will be seeking to secure a win and get over the .500 mark. While the start to the campaign might have been a bit bumpy, getting over the .500 mark would be a nice early accomplishment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following a win against the Chicago Cubs in their home opener, the Rays will be seeking to extend&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":669012,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2399],"tags":[5,138,24,4245,161,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-669011","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-cubs","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-chicago-cubs","11":"tag-chicagocubs","12":"tag-cubs","13":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116365222903052677","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=669011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/669011\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/669012"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=669011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=669011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=669011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
