The Tampa Bay Rays have remained hot and are continuing to win games.
On Monday, the team rolled to an 8-3 win over the defending World Series champion Houston Astros.
Once again, fans at Tropicana Field had a lot to cheer about as their Rays continued to dominate.
The team kicked off the 2023 season with a 13-game winning streak.
Since then, they have gone 7-3 and still hold baseball’s best record.
But even after their winning streak ended at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays, the team remains undefeated at home.
And with their win over the Astros on Monday, Tampa Bay improved to 14-0 at home and became the first time in the live ball era to start the season 14-0 at home.

Despite the end of their winning streak, the Rays are still red-hot and are simply crushing the competition.
On Monday, they pulled off their sixth consecutive win and remained 4.5 games ahead of the second-place Baltimore Orioles and six games ahead of the third-place Toronto Blue Jays.
Right-hander Taj Bradley stayed hot, winning his third game of the season and remaining undefeated.
The Rays also scored seven runs off of Astros starter Jose Urquidy.
And in doing so, they accomplished an impressive feat.
Hot hitting from their lineup which includes Randy Arozarena, Yandy Diaz, Isaac Paredes, Brandon Lowe, Harold Ramirez, and Wander Franco has been instrumental in the Rays early-season success.
The Rays are now 20-3 to start the regular season, and look prepared to run away with the AL East and capture their third division crown in the last four seasons.
