Game 1: Omar Rodriguez hit a grand slam (#9) as part of a 5-run first and the Rays cruised behind Leo Ortega to take a 6-2 win over the Jays at Rogers Centre. Victor de Jesus singled in a run in the 1st as well and Jaiden Hardaway added an RBI triple while Ortega was his usual efficient self, going 7 4 1 1 0 4 and is now 19-3, 2.99 as another Rays starter gets his ERA below 3. Edgar Rios pitched for the big club for the first time in a couple of months and was greeted with a homer but got through the 8th while Mike Wherry had a 1-2-3 9th with a pair of whiffs.

MLB News: Zachary Hammer of the Mets pitched a no-hitter against the Dodgers, except he didn't. Hammer went 9 0 0 0 1 11 but unfortunately the Mets failed to score during regulation as well, so it went to extras and he had to leave. The Mets did get the win 3-1 in 13 to stay in control of a wild card spot.

Game 2: After a couple of great starts Andy Aparicio reverted to his homer-happy ways and the Rays were beaten by Toronto 7-4. Aparicio gave up a pair of 2-run homers early and 6 runs in all in a brutal 3.1 7 6 6 0 2 performance. Tyler Jefferson went 3 2/3 allowing a run mopping up for him. On offense they jumped to a quick 2-0 lead in the 1st on a Danny Ayala homer (#36) before the Blue Jay onslaught, while Victor de Jesus and Will Quintana each drove in a run.

MLB News: The Angels' Francisco Lindor joined the 3000 hit club tonight.

Game 3: The Rays struck back after last night's loss with a 9-1 whupping of Toronto. Alex Buitrago had a 2-run triple in the 4th before the Rays put 6 on the board in the 5th, capped by a Jon Jimenez grand slam (#19). Victor de Jesus added HR #38 as well. Nate Schultz continued on his roll, retiring the first 14 Blue Jay hitters before giving up a single and finishing 7 3 0 0 0 8 to improve to 18-4, 2.87 as he's become a dark horse Cy Young candidate. Billy Hoyte lost the team shutout by giving up a Skyler Messinger homer leading off the 8th, and Bob Sirna had a 1-2-3 9th.

Team record: 104-35. Next up: An off-day then back home for a 3-game weekend series with Baltimore.

Minor League Playoff Update: For the first time in ages, AA Montgomery is in the playoffs and they opened round 1 at Jacksonville tonight, taking an 8-6 win the process. Eric Riley, acquired in trade earlier this summer, was hit hard for 5 runs by the 3rd but a 7-run 4th for the Biscuits put them ahead to stay. Zack Mathias was 3-4 with an RBI, Marco Abrego drove in 3 with a homer and a groundout, and Jarrod Cox pitched 4 1-hit innings in long relief to get the win, which put them up 1-0 in the best-of-5.

Update 2, 9/7: Kevin Ferrero was bombed for 7 runs in the 1st inning and Jacksonville evened the series at 1 with an 8-4 win over Montgomery. Marco Abrego homered again, as did Emilio Mireles and Jeff Leininger for the Biscuits in a losing cause.
