| 4/27/25 | Rays' Zack Littell looks for elusive win in clash vs. Padres. The series finale on Sunday between the visiting Tampa Bay Rays and San Diego Padres could be seen by a true cynic as a movable force against a resistible object. Tampa Bay will vie for a series sweep behind right-hander Zack Littell (0-5, 5.28 ERA), who's pitched well at times but been hurt by a lack of offensive support and untimely home run balls. The Rays will take aim at a San Diego team that's scored one run in the last 34 innings and owns its first three-game losing streak of the season. Littell's most recent start was the Rays' last loss, a 5-1 decision Tuesday night at Arizona. Source: https://www.reuters.com/sports/baseball/rays-zack-... |

| 4/22/25 | Rays score first at Arizona, but it's another Zack Littell loss. The Rays got off to a good start in Tuesday's opener of a six-game western road trip, scoring first for the first time in more than a week. The problem was they didn't score again, and a lot of what else happened was somewhat familiar in a 5-1 loss to the Diamondbacks, their 1998 expansion brethren. Most notably, the Rays failed to convert several promising opportunities and didn't give starter Zack Littell much support. The Rays took a 1-0 lead in the second when rookie Kameron Misner doubled with two outs off Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt and fellow rookie Jake Mangum followed with a single.
