The 2023 MLB season began with a team that stands out above the rest and that team is the Tampa Bay Rays. The team led by Kevin Cash celebrated its 13th victory of the season on Thursday, after beating the Boston Red Sox 9 runs to 3.
Colombian Harold Ramírez was the great protagonist by going 4-3 with three RBIs while Brandon Lowe went 2-4 against the pitching of the Red Sox.
The Rays are the 4th team in MLB history to start a season 13-0.
They join the 1987 Brewers, 1982 Braves and the 1884 Maroons (started 20-0).

With the win and their record at 13-0, the Rays match the best start in Major League history, along with Atlanta’s 13-0 in 1982, Milwaukee’s 13-0 in 1987. Just three teams in history have accomplished such a feat.
In addition, it should be noted that it is the first time in the team’s history that they have achieved 13 consecutive victories. Which makes the start of the team this year even more important.
The Rays have a balanced team and if injuries allow it, they will be able to compete for the American League title, thanks to players like Wander Franco or Randy Arozarena. We must also highlight what has been done so far by Isaac Paredes and Brandon Lowe.
