June 14-16, 2024: at Chicago White Sox (3)

Game 1: 8-1 W. WP-Patino (6-4, 6.1 2 1 1 2 9). HR-Meadows (2/12). Patino was dazzling and Meadows was 3-5 with the homer & 2 RBI as he's been a great pickup. Vazquez also was 2-4 with 2 ribbies.

Game 2: 4-2 W. WP-McClanahan (9-3, 7.1 7 2 2 0 7). S-Taylor (3/10). HR-Meadows (3/13), Bregman (15), Vazquez (2). Mac rolled again and is now tied for the AL win lead, while the offense only managed 5 hits but maximized them with 3 being homers.

Transaction: Wander Franco was activated after going 3-9 with a homer and triple in a pair of rehab games at Durham, and Royce Lewis was optioned to the Bulls.

Game 3: 3-5 L. LP-Rasmussen (2-2, 0 2 2 2 0 0). As you can see Rasmussen left after giving up a 2-run homer to the second batter he faced but it was only a mild calf strain so he'll make his next start. Meadows continued to rake, driving in all 3 runs with a bases-clearing double and he's now third in the AL in RBI with 48, including 15 in 13 games with us. The offense kept trying to rally but hit into double plays in three straight innings (6th-8th). Wander was 3-4 in his return.

Team record: 45-25
. Despite taking 2 of 3 in Chicago the Rays find themselves back in second place by 1/2 game as the Yankees hardly ever seem to lose, sweeping Minnesota. Next up: 2 games at home vs Washington before we head up there to play a pair.

MLB News: Boston signed a couple of the better free agents still out there, adding 2B Jean Segura and reliever Andrew Chafin.
