August 20-22, 2035: vs Seattle (3)

Game 1: The Rays got by Seattle 6-3 tonight for win #100 of the season in Game 126 behind an excellent performance from Nate Schultz. The Rays ace went 7 6 2 2 0 11 and is now 15-2, 3.29 and sports a 57-9 regular season record with Tampa Bay. Mike Wherry allowed one of Schultz's runners to score and then one of his own in the 8th before Kikuo Kawase notched save #31 with a scoreless 9th. Eric Titcombe and Bo Angeac each drove in a pair of runs, with the former hitting #21 with a man on and the latter with a double and a groundout. Jaiden Hardaway had 3 hits and scored twice.

Game 2: The Rays came up with a Bo-dacious win tonight over Seattle as Bo Angeac hit a 2-run homer to tie it in the 7th and then a 2-run walkoff homer to win it in the bottom of the 9th 8-7. After dominating his old team in the Emerald City a couple of weeks ago, Kevin Kerstetter looked like he'd lose his perfect 16-0 record after giving up 4 runs in the first and 6 overall in a 4.1 7 6 6 3 4 outing that marked his worst start since joining the rotation. But Angeac's first homer kept that record intact, although Wander Franco got revenge on his former team with his third hit of the game, an RBI single off Tim Siqueiros in the 8th to put the Mariners back ahead 7-6. But after Mike Wherry got the M's out 1-2-3 in the 9th, Victor de Jesus reached on a bloop single that probably should have been caught, and Angeac stepped up and swatted HR #18 to walk it off. Wherry picked up his 5th win, and Ron Adams had 2 2/3 innings of shutout relief with 5 Ks, giving him 100 in 81 innings. Also contributing were Eric Titcombe with HR #22 and Jaiden Hardaway with another 3-hit game and an RBI.

Game 3: The Rays completed the sweep of Seattle with a decisive 9-2 win thanks to a couple of big 3-run homers and a great outing from Leo Ortega. The first of the 3-run jacks was the big one as Victor de Jesus hit #31 in the 3rd to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead. Yesterday's hero Bo Angeac had the other one, his 19th, in the 7th to blow the game open. Omar Rodriguez also contributed #23 and drove in a pair to back Ortega, who overcame some early hiccups to go 7 6 2 2 0 7 and up his record to 8-4, 3.10. Billy Hoyte went 6 up, 6 down over the final 2 innings.

Team record: 102-26. Next up: 4 games in Charm City against the Orioles.
