The Rays had a game scheduled for Friday night against the Royals in Kansas City, their first game back from the All-Star break, but that one was postponed because of major thunderstorms across the Kansas City area.
The teams played a split doubleheader Saturday to make up for Friday's postponed game. Tampa Bay won both matchups.
The Rays enter the last game of a three-game series in first place in the American League at 60-35, two games ahead of the Baltimore Orioles.
