May 15: Sent P Mack Anglin to AAA Durham for a rehab assignment.

Mack will need a couple of starts at Durham at least, and obviously there's no rush to bring him back since the 5 current starters are dealing. By the way, guess who'll be ready for a rehab assignment in about 3 weeks? Vidal Brujan, remember him? This is about a month or two earlier than originally prognosticated when he first went down last year. With a year and a half left on his $13M/year contract and Gavin Lux and Connor Kirkley already on the roster, I've been shopping Brujan and I can get a decent return, especially if I retain some salary which isn't a problem. Stay tuned.

Game 1: The Rays brought their winning run into the nation's capital and made it a season-high 9 straight wins (and 17 of 18) with a 4-2 win behind more brilliance from Alec Sachais. The rookie righty took a 2-hit shutout into the 7th before giving up a 2-out HR to Josh Ellis. He came out for the 8th since his pitch count was only at 81 but gave up a leadoff homer to Jurickson Profar so it was time to get Daniel Espino. He had a 1-2-3 8th and then with lefties Drew Mendoza and Juan Soto due, Jose Alvarado got the 9th inning call. He whiffed Mendoza and walked Soto but got Gleyber Torres to ground into a game-ending double play to get save #3. Sachais went 7 4 2 2 0 7 and is now 3-0, 2.34 with an outstanding 5/42 BB/K ratio in 34.2 innings. The offense came early with a Bobby Witt Jr sac fly in the 1st, a Gavin Lux RBI single (3 more hits for him today, 19 for his last 45) in the 2nd, and Ricky Widmar's 2nd MLB HR in the 4th. Yordan Alvarez added a sac fly in the 7th to make it 4-0. Speaking of hot hitters, Nate Clark was 4-4 today and is 25 for his last 54, raising his average from .248 to .313.

Mack Anglin rehab update: Quite the mixed bag, as Anglin struck out 6 in 3 2/3 innings but also gave up 6 hits and 6 runs with 2 walks on 77 pitches. We'll check in on him again in 5 days.

Game 2: This is really getting kind of ridiculous. By the 4th inning it was 2-0 Rays. By the 5th it was 8-0. By the 6th it was 15-0. Rays hitters took mercy on the Washington staff the rest of the way and hung on for a 15-1 win, #10 in a row and 18th in their last 19. The star of the show on offense was Gavin Lux, who hit a pair of 2-run homers to give him 10 on the year. The first was the one that made it 2-0 in the 4th and the second came in the 6-run 5th. Nate Clark also hit a 3-run shot (#11). Ricky Widmar drove in three, Ryan Jeffers had a 2-run single and even starting pitcher Christian Little managed his first MLB RBI on a grounder to deep 3rd base. Speaking of Little, he was dominating as usual, going 7 3 0 0 2 7 (although the 1 K per inning rate was low for him). Hayden Johns went the final 2 innings, giving up an unearned run when Connor Kirkley, who came on for Lux, booted a 2-out grounder in the 8th allowing the run to score. The Yankees swept their series with Seattle, so the lead remains 5 1/2 games.

Team record: 29-14. Next up: 4 at home vs Seattle.
