Game 1: 6-7 L. LP-Baz (5-10, 4.1 9 6 6 2 6, 2 HR). HR-B.Lowe (30), J.Bell (11/29), W.Franco (19). Homers from Bell and Lowe staked them to a quick 3-0 lead in the 1st but Baz was horrible and despite the best efforts to come back they just fell short. Manuel Margot was ejected on a third strike call and went ballistic, arguing with every ump on the field and having to be dragged off. He was suspended for 4 games.

Transaction: With Margot headed to the restricted list we added another arm with Jason Adam coming back up from Durham.

Game 2: 2-5 L. LP-McClanahan (8-10, 5 6 5 5 3 2). Another terrible start as our young starters seem to be wilting from the workload and the pressure.

Game 3: 5-6 (L) (12). LP-Feyereisen (5-6). Starter-Patino (2.2 6 4 4 4 4). HR-Zunino (18). Another brutal start put us in a 4-0 hole, but they climbed out to tie at 4, and after going down again Zunino dramatically homered in the 9th to tie it, only to heartbreakingly lose on an Alex Bregman walk-off homer.

Team record: 82-77. No sugarcoating it here, this was a disastrous series. Cleveland did lose a game to drop the Rays' magic number to 2, but the Guardians are now tied with Toronto and Seattle is a half-game back of those two with a chance to make up a win, so there are three teams ready to step in if the Rays don't get the wins they need in these final 3 games in Boston. Houston clinched the #1 wild card and will host a series while Texas is only 1/2 game up on the Rays so if Tampa Bay does make it it's still not determined whether it well be at Houston or New York. Based on their regular season experiences in these parks it's not going to be pretty either way.

MLB News: The NL field is settled as the only thing left is seeding. Milwaukee and LA clinched their divisions with the Mets 2 behind Atlanta with 3 to go. The Mets have already clinched the first wild card with St. Louis likely to finish 2nd and San Francisco 3rd.

In some player news, Shohei Ohtani and Chris Rodriguez combined on a no-hitter of Texas with Ohtani going 6.2 with 11 whiffs on 98 pitches as LA won 11-0. Also in the game Jo Adell went 5-5 with a HR and 3 RBI while Mike Trout was 3-4 with 2 HR and 5 RBI.

Also Joey Gallo tied the Yankees single-season HR record held by Roger Maris with a pair of homers on Sunday giving him 61. He has 3 games left to break it.
