August 28: Placed P Sean Forbes on the 10-day IL with forearm inflammation, recalled P BJ Turner from AAA Durham.

Forbes suffered the season-ending injury in the finale of the Boston series, just when he was starting to become trusted again in high-leverage situations; he had retired the Sox in the 7th in a one-run game before having to leave.

Game 1: Jim Brophy pitched one of his better games and the Rays took a 6-1 win over Atlanta at Truist Park. The lefty with the 35 stuff went 7 6 1 1 1 4 and improved to 14-7, 3.91. We're a much better defensive team than in years past and I'd hate to think what his numbers would look like if he were pitching in front of our typical defense. Dave Frick had a big game, going 3-4 with HR #8 and 3 RBI. Although he cooled off from his .400 pace over the first 2.5 months of the season, he's still hitting .354. The homer was his first since June 3. Doug Johns also doubled and drove in a pair.

Game 2: The Rays were up against one of the game's better pitchers over the last 10+ years in Atlanta's Juan Rosales, and the 35-year-old is still on top of the game, coming in with a 3.02 ERA. But the Rays' hitters fear no hurler and Rosales came out of it with a 3.38 ERA as they put up 9 runs in the 5th and went on to a 10-2 rout. Dan Gregory was 3-3 with a double, steal and RBI, Dave Frick had another big game going 2-4 with a double and 3 RBI, and Yuji Morioka was 2-3 with a double and 2 RBI. Ben Moses (11-7) needed 105 pitches to get through 5 and qualify for the win, but did so at 5 3 2 2 4 6 and Caleb Ramos twirled 4 scoreless innings to pick up his 2nd save.

Team record: 95-38. Next up: Another off-day then 3 games in Cleveland.
