After starting the season 31–32, the Rays went 37–62 across their final 100 games, including a dismal 3–24 stretch before the All-Star Break, to finish at 68–94, their worst record since the 2007 season. In March 2016, the Rays traveled to Cuba to play an exhibition game against the Cuba national baseball team to accompany Barack Obama's visit to Cuba, the first United States presidential visit to Cuba in 88 years. It was a landmark in Cuba–United States relations. With Obama and Raúl Castro in attendance, the Rays beat Cuba 4–1.Rays beat Cuban National Team 4-1 in Havana https://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/os-rays-cuban-national-team-havana-20160322-story.html 25 October 2021 Orlando Sentinel Associated Press March 22, 2016 Season standings American League East Tampa Bay Rays American League Wild Card Tampa Bay Rays Record against opponents TB Regular season summary Game log Legend Rays win Rays loss PostponementBoldRays team member Tampa Bay Rays;
