White Sox Rays Score: Eflin Leads Tampa Bay to 4-1 Win

In a dominant performance, Zach Eflin pitched five effective innings in his return from injury and helped the Tampa Bay Rays secure a 4-1 win over the slumping Chicago White Sox. The Rays' third baseman, Isaac Paredes, made several strong plays in support of Eflin, who allowed only one run and three hits in the game.

Eflin (3-0) was pleased with his outing, saying, 'The offense has had our back the entire season.' Indeed, the Rays' offense has been unstoppable this year. The team has now homered in each of their first 22 games, extending their major league record. Luke Raley and Harold Ramirez went deep for Tampa Bay on Sunday, contributing to their 13th consecutive home win to begin the season.

The Rays are off to a hot start, with a 19-3 record that ties them with the 2009 Los Angeles Dodgers for the second-longest home winning streak to start a season since 1901. Manager Kevin Cash praised his team's performance, saying, 'It has gone really, really well.'

Paredes, who had been on the injured list with lower back tightness, was happy to be back on the field and making an impact. 'It's been a lot of fun,' he said.

The Rays' 13-game home winning streak is a testament to their strong team effort this season. With Eflin leading the way on the mound and their offense continuing to produce, Tampa Bay looks poised for a successful campaign.
