NEW YORK — Though they had only a train ride from Baltimore to New York and the convenience of not changing hotels as they faced the Yankees and Mets in consecutive series, the Rays still felt the road was long and seemingly without end.
There was considerable conversation before Thursday’s finale about how eager they would be to get home after playing 10 games over 11 days against three teams expected to contend for playoff spots.
“I was saying (Thursday), I forgot we even went to Baltimore,” outfielder Josh Lowe said. “It was a long trip.”
