Another good series for the Rays as they Meat Loaf the Yankees (and could have had a sweep if not for the bullpen letting them down in the opener). Baltimore took 2 of 3 from terrible Toronto so the division lead remains at 3 games.

As alluded to, the Rays dropped the opener 5-4 in 10 innings to the Yankees after losing a 4-3 lead late. Gleyber Torres homered off Tommy Doyle in the 8th to tie it a 4, and Trevor Megill (1-3) gave up a run in his second inning of work in the 10th. Jackson Baumeister gave them a quality start (6 4 3 3 2 5) and the offense came via 2-run homers from our dynamic duo of Andrew Greckel (#19) and Kelly Crumpton (#18).

The Rays took the second game 7-2, scoring 5 times in the 7th and 8th to grab a win. Robinson Ortiz returned to the rotation after missing a start with an oblique and he was solid at 5 5 2 2 1 4. Slade Cecconi (4-1) got the win with a scoreless 6th when the Rays scored twice in the 7th on a Kelly Crumpton RBI single and Andy Kelley's bases-loaded walk. They tacked on 3 more in the 8th to put the game away including a Wander Franco RBI double and another RBI single from Crumpton, who also had a 2-run homer earlier (#19), giving him a 4-RBI day.

Tampa Bay took the rubber game of the series 5-4 thanks largely to a solid start from Shane Panzini. The righty evened his record at 5-5 after going 6 5 2 2 1 5 and had to sweat it out with the rest of us in the 9th when Yasunari Uehara put the first man on and gave up a 2-run homer to Corey Seager before striking out the next 3 Yankees to escape with save #16. Joshua Baez had an RBI double and sac fly and Dong-hwan Kim rapped out a pair of doubles and drove one in to lead the offense.

Team record: 39-25. Next up: An off-day then 3 games in Washington against the best team in baseball right now as the Nationals sport a 43-20 record.
