Game 1: The Rays snapped back from a rare loss with a 9-3 drubbing of the White Sox in Chicago. Gavin Lux led the way 2 HR and 5 RBI, including a 2-run blast in the 1st to put them on the board and a 3-run shot (#27) in the 6th to blow open a 4-0 game into a 7-0 one. Also going deep was Jasson Dominguez (#13/#21) with a solo shot in the 2nd, and Jud Fabian (#13) with a 2-run blast in the 7th. Nate Clark added an RBI single and that was more than enough offense for Mack Anglin, who was much better this time out until the ran out of gas in the 7th, going 6.1 6 2 2 3 2 for win #6. Christian Chamberlain pitched the final 2 2/3, only allowing a Corey Seager homer.

Game 2: Christian Little was sharp and the bullpen sharper in a 3-2 win over the White Sox. Little went a typical 6 5 2 2 1 10 and that would have been 6 3 1 1 1 10 had I not brought him out for the 7th on 92 pitches and left him in to give up a leadoff homer and a double in the 7th. Evan Godwin came in and got through the 7th and picked up 2 outs in the 8th before giving up a hit and giving way to Jose Alvarado. Alvarado finished the 8th and got the first 2 out in the 9th, but then put two on, so JDLC came in, gave up an infield single to load the bases but got Nick Madrigal to ground out to end the game and get save #23. Little improved to 11-3, 2.61. There wasn't much offense, but there was enough as Bobby Witt Jr scored on a wild pitch in the 2nd, Nate Clark hit #25 in the 6th to make it 2-1, and Witt's sac fly later in the inning made it 3-1.

Game 3: Blake Money went to 15-0 as the Rays swept the series from the White Sox with a 6-2 win. Money trailed 2-1 in the 3rd but his teammates eventually got him the lead and and built on it to keep his perfect record intact. Of course Money held up his end too, going 7.1 3 2 2 1 10, and Jose Alvarado got the final five outs for save #8 while a 3-2 game became a 6-2 one in the 9th. Ricky Widmar, on a recent power surge, led off the game with HR #12 before the White Sox briefly went ahead. Connor Kirkley in a rare start singled in a run in the 5th to tie it, and Isaac DeLeon gave them the lead to stay with HR #8 in the 6th. A 3-run rally in the 9th put it away on RBI singles from Jhon Diaz, Ryan Jeffers and Nate Clark.

Team record: 77-27. Next up: The road trip moves to Seattle for 3 games.
