Game 1: The Rays' offense was stifled by one of the league's better pitchers in Cleveland's Danny Romero and they fell 3-0 to the Guardians. Kevin Kerstetter pitched decently (6 5 3 3 1 6) but had no chance with no run support. Damani Cotton chipped in with 2 perfect innings. Meanwhile the Jays won to pull back within 2 games.

Game 2: Runs were scarce again at Progressive Field but this time the Rays got both of them in a 2-0 win behind Josh Carsello. The lefty went 7.2 4 0 0 2 8 in another outstanding outing, improving to 7-3, 2.32 as he bids to be the latest in a long line of Rays Cy Young winners. Tim Siqueiros got a huge out in the 8th with a two-on, two-out whiff, and Kikuo Kawase struck out a pair around a single in the 9th for save #13. Will Quintana's 2-run single in the 4th after the inning was extended by a Cleveland error was sum total of the offense tonight, but it was enough. Of course Toronto won in 10 innings 5-4 to stay two back.

Game 3: A largely lousy weekend in Cleveland concluded with a 7-2 loss to the Guardians. Jeremy Curtis started and had nothing, only managing one out in the first and allowing 6 runs before being pulled, and that was pretty much that. The bats went 26 innings with 2 runs scored in the series before finally pushing across a couple in the 9th on a Mike McKee solo homer (#2) and a Daniel Malone RBI double. Tony Rey went 4 2/3 in long relief only allowing an unearned run and Chris Toombs was impressive with 3 1-hit innings with 0 walks and 5 Ks, giving him 2 and 20 in 17 IP since being recalled. Fortunately Toronto actually lost a 1-run game, so the lead remains at 2.

Team record: 49-22. Next up: We play those pesky Jays for 3 game at home starting tomorrow and when we're done we'll be anywhere from a game behind to 5 up.
