June 7-9, 2024: vs San Francisco (3)
Game 1: 7-2 W. WP-Chirinos (6-1, 5.2 4 2 2 0 5). HR-Soto (14). Yonny was solid and the Rays scored 6 times in the middle innings with Jeremiah Jackson going 3-4 with 3 RBI and Rene Pinto contributing a 2-run double.
Game 2: 7-4 W. WP-Patino (5-4, 6 7 3 3 1 6). S-Taylor (2/9). Patino survived a rough start, falling behind 3-0 in the 2nd before the Rays put 5 on the board in the 3rd to go up 7-3. Austin Meadows had a 2-run single and has 8 RBI in 7 games since rejoining the Rays while Josh Lowe and Royce Lewis each knocked in a pair. Fairbanks was given another chance to get a save but gave up a pair of hits so Josh Taylor got the final out.
Game 3: 5-1 W. WP-McClanahan (8-3, 7 3 1 1 1 8). HR-Arozarena (12), Mead 2 (7). It was the Mac & Mead show as McClanahan lowered his ERA to 2.90 with another gem and Mead was 3-3 with a walk, the two homers and 3 RBI as the Rays swept a very good Giants team.
Team record: 41-23. The Yankees took 2 of 3 in San Diego but their one loss was enough to allow us to nose back into first by 1/2 game. Next up: Arizona visits for 3 games.
