Game 1: 7-6 W (14). WP-Feyereisen (1-1). Starter-Rasmussen (4.1 6 4 4 3 4). HR-J.Jackson (6). Mead's RBI single in the 14th won it after Royce Lewis tied it with a 2-run single in the 9th. They should have won it in the 9th because after that they had the bases loaded with nobody out but chose instead to do it the hard way. Juan Soto set a club record with 5 walks drawn.

Game 2: 8-2 W. WP-Swanda (6-3, 5 5 1 1 1 4). HR-J.Lowe (4), Arozarena (13). Arozarena had a big game with 3 run-scoring hits including the homer to lead the offense and Swanda actually made it through 5 this time (91 pitches).

Game 3: 6-9 L. LP-Chirinos (6-2, 4.1 6 7 7 2 3). HR-Vazquez (1). We may be 43-24 but outside of McClanahan our starting pitching has been mediocre-to-bad so some work is going to be needed as we can't outscore everybody and tonight was a prime example. They did have the bases loaded in the 9th but couldn't pull it out but it was nice to see Vazquez finally hit a homer this season.

Team record: 43-24. Next up: An off-day then we travel to Chicago for 3 against the White Sox. The Yankees also took 2 of 3 so we remain 1/2 game up in the East.

MLB News: A couple of starting pitchers are done for the year. Atlanta's Ian Anderson and Cleveland's Marcus Stroman suffered arm injuries to put them out of commission.

Also we've sent Wander Franco to Durham on a rehab assignment and will probably activate him after the Chicago series.
