After taking 2 of 3 in Alamo Park from San Antonio the Rays are now tied for first in the AL East with Toronto, which dropped 2 of 3 at home to the Angels including a 17-inning affair in the finale. The wild card race has become insane with the Rays and Jays 4 up on a 3-team pack tied for the second spot (Yankees, Royals, Tigers) with the red-hot Astros (who won 10 straight before losing their last game) only one back of those three.

Tyler Glasnow continued his 2nd half return to form in the opener, combining with Osvanni Gutierrez on a 3-hit shutout in a 4-0 Rays win over San Antonio. Glasnow was 7.2 3 0 0 2 8 to improve to 11-12, 4.22. Adley Rutschman supplied all the offense needed with a 2-run homer (#20) in the 1st while Matt Chapman was 2-4 with an RBI single later in that 1st inning.

Joe Ryan was forced to leave in the 5th with back stiffness (he'll make his next start) but the Rays still prevailed over the Alamos 4-2. Ryan threw 4 shutout innings and was succeeded by JT Ginn, who went 3 2 1 1 0 4 in long relief to record his 6th win, and Tyler Rogers had a shaky 9th allowing a run but hung on for save #15. Wander Franco had the game's big hit, a 2-run homer (#20) in the 3rd, and Kody Hoese and Matt Higgins contributed RBI singles in the 7th.

Dustin May, who has been a large part of our second-half turnaround, didn't have it today in the finale, giving up a pair of homers in the first and three overall in a 6-2 loss to San Antonio. May finished 4.2 8 6 6 2 7 and dropped to 15-9, 3.84 while Tarik Skubal looked his best in a long while by going 3 1/3 perfect in relief. Adley Rutschman and Matt Higgins were each 2-4 with an RBI to supply the offense, which did have some chances to get back in the game late but squandered them.

Team record: 85-65. Next up: 3 games at home vs Baltimore, another team having a very rough year.

Transactions/Durham update: Another of our OFers heads to North Carolina for rehab as Heston Kjerstad joins Heliot Ramos with the Bulls. Both were in the lineup for Durham's playoff opener against Charlotte, a game Durham lost 6-5 with both of the rehabbers picking up a pair of hits.
