Game 1: 8-5 W (12). WP-Fairbanks (3-4). Starter-McClanahan (5.1 7 5 5 2 4). HR-Vaughn (17), Bregman (19/29). A remarkable comeback for the Rays as they trailed 5-1 with one out and nobody on in the 9th, got within 5-3 with 2 out, and Josh Lowe delivered a 2-run single to tie it. The winner came on a 2-run homer from Bregman in the 12th, and Vaughn had 4 hits.

Game 2: 2-6 L. LP-Patino (7-7, 0 2 2 2 0 0). HR-J.Lowe (23). Patino had to leave in the 1st with a mild calf strain (won't miss his next start) turning this into a bullpen day which didn't go so well.

Game 3: 9-8 W. WP-Raley (2-3). Starter-Baz (3.1 9 6 6 2 3). S-Fairbanks (32). Another big comeback win as they trailed 6-1 after 4 thanks to Baz, who really has run out of gas down the stretch. Zach DeLoach, who had an RBI triple in a 4-run 5th which got them back in it, added a 2-run single in a 4-run 8th which put them ahead 9-6 before Feyereisen gave up 2 in the 8th. Francisco Mejia also had a big 2-run triple.

Game 4: 1-0 W. WP-Kittredge (6-5). Starter-Rasmussen (5.2 4 0 0 3 9). S-Feyereisen (2). In the polar opposite of yesterday's game the Rays scored the game's lone run in the 9th when JD Martinez doubled with one out and Andrew Vaughn singled him home with two gone. Rasmussen provided the team's first good start in over a week.

Team record: 85-71. With the third win of the series the Rays clinched a wild card and have all but clinched the important first wild card which means they'll be hosting some kind of series at the Trop. The division remains achievable with them now 1 1/2 behind Boston (2 in the loss column) but obviously they're going to need a huge final week which starts with 3 at home vs Baltimore.

Players of the month: AL-Vlad Guerrero Jr (TOR) .356-8-19; NL-Ronald Acuna Jr (ATL) .369-11-22. Vlad's Jays have won 10 straight (including their sweep of us) but all it's done is get them to 75-80 (which albeit is 3 back of the 3rd wild card).

Pitchers of the month: AL-Shane Bieber (CLE) 5-1, 2.70; NL-Brandon Woodruff (MIL) 5-1, 1.80.

Pennant races still alive: AL Central has Minnesota 1/2 up on Cleveland, 2 1/2 on Kansas City. Those latter two are wild cards #2 & 3 at the moment with the Royals 1 up on the Yankees and 2 on Detroit. In the NL it's 3 teams for the 2nd and 3rd wild card with Milwaukee 1/2 game up on San Diego which is 2 up on the Cubs.
