Game 1: Things did not start off well for Shane McClanahan as he failed to retire the first three Boston batters, with a run in and lucky it wasn't two as Keibert Ruiz threw out an attempted steal. But he gave Boston nothing after that and the Rays eked out a 2-1 win. Mac ended up 7 4 1 1 2 6 and improved to 12-5, with his ERA down to a still-high 4.40. Daniel Espino did his thing in the 8th, and Jasseel De La Cruz got save #28. They got their two runs in the 4th when Judson Fabian walked and Isaac DeLeon singled and they both moved up when the outfielder overran the ball. Yordan Alvarez then hit a sac fly and Jasson Dominguez singled in DeLeon on a night when they only managed 5 hits of their own.

Game 2: Last time the Rays faced Tyler Glasnow a few weeks back, I remarked about how Glasnow's stuff had diminished since his injury this year. And when Isaac DeLeon led off the game with a homer over the Monster (#10), it looked like we'd have our way against him again. But the old Glasnow took over, and went 6.1 5 1 1 2 10 against them in a 2-1 Red Sox win over the Rays. Mack Anglin started opposite Glasnow and looked really good again, going 6 6 1 1 1 7 himself. Neither starter was around when the game was decided in the 8th as the Red Sox put together a walk and a couple of hits against Jose Alvarado to score the game-winner. The DeLeon homer was it for the Rays as they managed only 6 hits, and the closest they came to scoring again was when Nate Clark was thrown out at the plate by David Dahl in the 4th.

Game 3: After being held to 3 runs over the last 2 games, the Rays' bats snapped out of it with a 10-5 win over Boston. Isaac DeLeon hit the first of his 2 homers (now with 12) to get them on the board, and then longballs from Yordan Alvarez (#28) and Jasson Dominguez (#18/#26, a 2-run shot) broke open a 1-1 game in the 5th. Jhon Diaz drove in 3 runs with a pair of singles, and Gavin Lux had an RBI knock of his own. All this run support got Christian Little his 14th win of the season as he went 6 5 3 3 1 12. With the huge lead, Jack Leiter pitched the final 3 innings and picked up his 3rd save, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits but whiffing 4. Judson Fabian was on base all 5 times tonight, 3-3 with a pair of HBPs.

Team record: 98-35. Up next: An off-day, followed by a weekend in Columbus.
