September 17th, 2018: At 72-77, we dropped down to 22nd in the Power Rankings.

We opened the series hosting the Blue Jays. Kevin Gausman (10-7, 3.58 ERA, 1.25 WHIP) battled Marco Estrada (10-10, 4.74 ERA, 1.32 WHIP) as we looked to start out strong. It was a close one, but we won the opener 6-4.

Gausman went 5.2 innings with 4 hits, 2 runs, a walk, and 7 strikeouts. Mychal Givens, Will Harris, and Pedro Araujo earned holds while Zach Britton got the save. Harris pitched the 7th, allowing a hit, run, and getting a strikeout. Donnie Hart didn't get an out, walking the only batter he faced, who later scored.

Tim Beckham was 1-for-4 with a three run homer. Trey Mancini, Jonathan Schoop, and Anthony Santander were all 1-for-4 with solo homers. Anthony Alford was 2-for-3 with a walk and run scored. Ruben Tejada was 1-for-3 with a run scored.

September 18th, 2018: The Giants have been eliminated from the playoffs. At 68-84, they are 33 games behind the Dodgers.

Game two saw Tanner Scott (2-2, 8.20 ERA, 1.93 WHIP) face Marcus Stroman (9-7, 4.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP). We had trouble crossing the plate, and were shutout 3-0.

September 20th, 2018: Washington will be wihout their closer Sean Doolittle for the rest of the year with bone chips in his elbow, but should be ready fro next season. He had 27 saves and a 3.38 ERA with 74 strikeouts in 61.1 innings.

The Asros clinched the AL West today. At 91-61, the defending champs have a 11 game lead over the Mariners.

We got today off before heading to New York. We'd face the Yankees for three, and would see Sonny Gray (8-10, 3.49 ERA), Luis Servino (11-8, 3.33 ERA), and Mashiaro Tanaka (!2-7, 4.66 ERA).

September 21st, 2018: We opened the series in the Bronx with Sonny Gray (8-10, 3.49 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) taking on Carlos Rodon (1-6, 7.88 ERA, 1.92 WHIP). He's due for a good start, right? Nah, he'd rather pitch poor and lose 5-2.

All five runs were charged to him in 4 innings with 7 hits and a strikeout. Chris Lee tossed 3 scorless mop up innings with 4 hits, 2 walks, and a strikeout.

Adam Jones was the offense, 1-for-4 with a two run homer. Anthony Alord was 1-for-3 with a walk and run scored.

September 22nd, 2018: The Cleveland Indians have clinched a playoff birth. At 90-63, they have just a 1.5 game lead over the Twins, but have enough of a lead on the Wild Card to be guaranteed a spot in the postseason.

Game two saw Mike Wright (6-6, 4.19 ERA, 1.21 WHIP) and Luis Severino (11-8, 3.33 ERA, 1.04 WHIP). We allowed 5 in the 6th and dropped the middle game 9-1.

Tim Beckham was 2-for-4 with an RBI double. He drove in Anthony Santander, who was 2-for-3 with a hit by pitch. Max Stassi was 1-for-3 with a walk.

Rays RF Jake Bauers was 5-for-5 in a 9-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

September 23rd, 2018: The 72-82 Rays were elimnated from the playoffs, which means our elimination is not too far away. They're 15.5 games out of first, we are 13.5 out...

The Minnesota Twins clinched a playoff spot today. At 90-65, they are just half a game behind the Indians.

More playoff news for the AL, the Oakland Athletics have been eliminated. At 73-82, they are 20.5 games out of first.

We looked to avoid a sweep with Kevin Gausman (11-7, 3.57 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) taking on Mashiaro Tanaka (12-7, 4.66 ERA, 1.21 WHIP). It took 10 innings, but Brett Garnder hit a walk off single off Pedro Araujo and the Yanks finished the sweep with a 4-3 win.

Gausman went 6 innings, allowing 6 hits, 2 runs, and he struck out 7. Aaron Bummer blew the save, allowing a solo homer to the only batter he faced. Zach Britton got the loss, going 1.2 innings with 2 hits, a run, and a strikeout, and his ERA more then doubled to 0.45.

Tim Beckham was 2-for-4 with a walk and pair of solo homers. Anthony Alford was 4-for-5 with a double. Anthony Santander had a pinch hit solo homer in the 8th.

We continue a tough road trip and head to Boston to face the first place Red Sox. We'll see Rick Porcello (9-8, 4.79 ERA), Chris Sale (17-4, 3.01 ERA), and Drew Pomeranz (4-12, 6.30 ERA) in the final road series of the year.
