Rays Defeat Cubs in Return to Tropicana Field
A sellout crowd of 25,114 saw Cedric Mullins, Jonathan Aranda and Junior Caminero homer in Tampa Bay’s first home win for its new owners.
- On Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Chicago Cubs 6-4, marking their triumphant return to Tropicana Field after 561 days away.
- Hurricane Milton shredded the original stadium roof in October 2024, forcing the Rays to spend the 2025 season at Steinbrenner Field while nearly $60 million in repairs were completed.
- Cedric Mullins, Jonathan Aranda, and Junior Caminero homered before a sellout crowd of 25,114, while the team debuted the renovated Cownose Clubhouse housing stingrays that survived the hurricane.
- Manager Kevin Cash called the return an "important day," while the victory marked the first home win for the ownership group led by Patrick Zalupski, who purchased the team for $1.7 billion last year.
- Although the Rays remain under lease at the Trop through at least the 2028 season, the ownership group is pursuing a new ballpark near Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
