The Tampa Bay Rays are off to the best start in franchise history at 9-0 after clubbing the Oakland Athletics on Sunday. The nine-game winning streak to start the season is the best since the Milwaukee Brewers won 13 games in a row to commence the 1987 campaign.Tampa Bay will look to become the seventh MLB team to start a season with 10 straight wins when the Rays take on the Boston Red Sox on Monday.Tampa Bay Rays@RaysBaseballDoing things that haven't been seen since the 1800s733142Doing things that haven't been seen since the 1800sEach of the Tampa Bay Rays' nine wins has come by at least four runs, which is the second-longest streak to begin a season since the 1884 St. Louis Maroons. The Maroons played in the Union Association, the forerunner to the National League, which was founded in 1885.The Maroons played in St. Louis from 1884 to 1886, then moved to Indiana and became the Indianapolis Hoosiers before the team folded.No one has seen a run of season-opening dominance like Tampa Bay's in the modern era of the game.matt@OCPDesigns@RaysBaseball This is insane637@RaysBaseball This is insane https://t.co/VMYs8L4Pk7Brandon Lamb@Brandonlamb1993@RaysBaseball Let's go Rays win another shutout and a sweep 9@RaysBaseball Let's go Rays win another shutout and a sweep 👏⛪💪AJ⚡⚾@TampaBayAndrew@RaysBaseball @Ry_Bass I asked ChatGPT to create an article based on a 9 wins in a row season.

The Detroit Tigers, Washington Nationals, and Athletics may all finish at the bottom of their respective divisions.However, they still have to play and win the games, and Tampa Bay can't be accused of playing down to the level of their competition. The Rays were favored to win all nine games and they did just that.Jim Bird@thisjimbird@RaysBaseball I know the start of the season hasn't been against the best teams, but you have to beat the ones you're supposed to beat. 9 - 0 is 9 - 0. Brings on the Red Sox.2@RaysBaseball I know the start of the season hasn't been against the best teams, but you have to beat the ones you're supposed to beat. 9 - 0 is 9 - 0.

The team's home stadium, Tropicana Field, was recently named the worst baseball park in the history of the game in a non-scientific Twitter poll. However, the Rays themselves have been one of the most successful franchises in recent memory.🦀 Juli ⚾️💙⚡️🏒🏈@Baycrab3@RaysBaseball Sweep, Swampt, Swept!!!7@RaysBaseball Sweep, Swampt, Swept!!! https://t.co/Ax58DKwtxbJeff@jbowe84@RaysBaseball2@RaysBaseball https://t.co/1sCtvze5rlCalvin 🏁@CalWilsonTHFC@RaysBaseball4@RaysBaseball https://t.co/7iR9dy2ZeEThe Rays will play their first opponent with a winning record on Monday when the 5-4 Boston Red Sox come to town.Tbrasco 🐊@Tbrasco07@RaysBaseball THREE STRAIGHT SWEEPS2@RaysBaseball THREE STRAIGHT SWEEPS https://t.co/v4DsW53ds8Tampa Bay Rays are already three games up in AL EastRandy Arozarena #56 of the Tampa Bay Rays celebrates with Brandon Lowe #8 after hitting a home runThe road is getting more challenging now as the Tampa Bay Rays look to keep their undefeated run going.
