Zunino, Rays hit 5 HRs, blast Orioles 13-6 to win 5th in row

Mike Zunino hit two home runs and the Tampa Bay Rays connected five times in all, hammering the Baltimore Orioles 13-6 Tuesday night for their fifth straight win

MAY 19, 2021 • Associated Press

Singles three times Arozarena went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 12-5 win over the Mets.

Impact The outfielder had tallied just seven hits in his last thirteen games before Saturday's strong showing at the plate. The lack of power, highlighted by Arozarena's having recorded three extra-base hits since April 28, is concerning. That being said, Saturday's three-hit game was a step in the right direction for Arozarena.

Wendle hits 3 of Tampa Bay's 8 doubles, Rays beat Mets 12-5

Joey Wendle hit three doubles and a single, keying two big innings that sent the Tampa Bay Rays past the New York Mets 12-5

MAY 15, 2021 • Associated Press

Starting to make harder contact Arozarena entered Friday's game against the Mets with two doubles, a home run, four RBI, a .369 wOBA and a .200 ISO over the 31 plate appearances covering his previous seven games.

Impact Arozarena hasn't come close to duplicating his memorable October 2020 tear, but there are signs he is starting to square up on the ball more consistently. The talented outfielder put together his third multi-RBI outing of the season Thursday versus the Yankees, launching a three-run home run. Arozarena had laced 10 of his 34 hits of the season for extra bases heading into Friday, but his .397 slugging percentage still has ample room for improvement.
