Rays manager Joe Maddon took the interruption as a sign of success for his team.

“It’s always a sign of having made it, in a sense, when you start getting streakers or semi-streakers during a game,” Maddon said. “I don’t think they streak at last-place teams’ games.”

By the way, the Rays won 3-2.
