The end of a six-game winning streak doesn’t mean the team should sulk or do anything different than it had been.

A crowd of 10,046 was the Rays’ 33rd sellout in 36 games at Steinbrenner Field, the Rays’ temporary home this season. Tampa Bay, which dropped back to .500 at 27-27, is 17-19 at home.

The Twins snapped Tampa Bay’s six-game winning streak after Joe Ryan permitted five hits and one run across six innings.

Pete Fairbanks and Garrett Cleavinger have been dominant out of the Rays' bullpen. Fairbanks has walked 12 batters in 22 innings this month. But he's put together a 2.05 ERA and 10 saves in 11 chances through 23 appearances this season. Cleavinger, a left-hander, has quietly put together a 2.14 ERA and 25 strikeouts compared to just four walks.

The Chicago White Sox traded Matt Thaiss to the Rays on Tuesday, and reinstated fellow catcher Korey Lee from the 10-day injured list to fill the open roster spot, while receiving minor league outfielder Dru Baker from Tampa Bay to complete the deal.

The Tampa Bay Rays announced changes to their 2025 home schedule Saturday to avoid conflicting dates with the Buccaneers’ preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.
