Game 1: 5-7 L. LP-Rasmussen (12-3, 4.1 5 5 5 3 9). Brandon Lowe stayed hot with a 2-run double but that was about the only bright spot.

Game 2: 4-6 L. LP-Wisler (3-6). Starter-Chirinos (5 8 4 2 3 3). HR-Arozarena (18), E.Ruiz (4). The game went back and forth, but in the end it didn't go the Rays' way.

Transactions: Matt Wisler went on the IL with a hamstring strain, it was minimal for 4 days but we needed a fresh arm so Christopher Gau, who's rocketed up the minors with a combined ERA under 1 at 3 stops, was called up. Also with today's doubleheader, Tommy Romero was brought up as the 27th man to pitch the nightcap.

Game 3: 6-4 W. WP-Gau (1-0). Starter-Romero (4.2 8 3 3 0 2). HR-B.Lowe 2 (27). Brandon Lowe's 2nd homer of the day, a 3-run shot in the 8th, capped a 5-RBI day and snapped a 5-game losing streak to make a winner of Chris Gau in his MLB debut.

Game 4: 1-6 L. LP-Baz (4-9, 5 7 4 3 0 8). HR-W.Franco (17). Shane Baz became the latest Rays start who couldn't keep the ball in the park and the bats were held to 4 hits.

Game 5: 1-2 L. LP-McClanahan (8-8, 5.1 5 2 2 1 7). And Mac coughed up 2 homers to account for the two runs which beat them as the offense was once again anemic, dropping the Rays to their 7th loss in 8 games.

Team record: 74-69. Thanks to this recent tailspin the Rays have gone from 94% to make the playoffs to 65% and have dropped to the third wild card, albeit 2 1/2 up on Seattle and now Toronto, whom the brought back into the race by losing 4 of 5 to them. Next up: 3 games at home vs Texas, who are now 2 games ahead of them in the second wild card after winning 7 straight. They also have 6 games left with Houston and another series with Toronto, so the remainder of the schedule will be difficult.
