Game 1: 1-5 L. LP-Baz (0-1, 5 4 2 2 2 6). HR-W.Franco (6). Shane Baz pitched well in his season debut but wasn't supported by either the bats or the pen.
Game 2: 0-18 L. LP-Kluber (2-3, 3.1 8 10 9 4 3). Things got so ugly Taylor Walls pitched the 9th (and gave up 3 runs).
Game 3: 3-4 L. LP-Springs (1-2). Starter-Patino (4 4 2 2 4 4 on 94 pitches). HR-Phillips (4). Rays had a 3-2 lead after 6 but JP Feyereisen gave up a Joey Gallo homer to tie and a Yandy Diaz error led to the winning run.
Game 4: 3-4 L. LP-Feyereisen (3-2). Starter-McClanahan (4 6 2 2 2 3 on 99 pitches). HR-W.Franco (7). Carbon copy of yesterday's game, Rays went up 3-2 through 6, this time it was Stanton with a 2-run homer to win it as the Rays suffer a sweep.
Team record: 26-21, now 4 1/2 behind the Yankees. Next up: 4 games at Texas.
This team can't hit its way out of a paper bag now:
