Game 1: 8-5 W. WP-Rasmussen (4-3, 6 6 0 0 1 6). HR-J.Lowe (8), Bregman (19). Ras was excellent, Bregman was 3-5 with the HR & 4 RBI and Wander was 4-5 with a double and 2 RBI. It was 8-0 before Whitley and Fairbanks combined to allow 5 runs in the final 2 innings to make it way more interesting that it should have.

Game 2: 7-0 W. WP-Swanda (9-3, 7 5 0 0 1 9). HR-Vaughn (5). Swanda keeps getting better and Vaughn was 4-5 with a homer and 3 RBI, Soto 3-4 with a RBI and Mead 2-4 with 3 runs scored, a double and RBI.

Game 3: 7-2 W. WP-Patino (8-4, 7 6 2 2 0 9). HR-Soto (20), J.Lowe (9). Everyone in the lineup had a hit, Soto and Lowe drove in a pair, and Patino was excellent.

Game 4: 7-6 W (11). WP-Kittredge (1-0). S-Springs (3). Starter-Chirinos (5.1 5 4 3 0 4). HR-Vaughn (6), Soto (21). Soto's big fly in the 11th won it in a game which saw the Rays fall behind 3-1, go up 6-3, let Baltimore tie it off the pen before completing the sweep. Vazquez had 2 hits including a 2-run double and Jeremiah Jackson was 2-5 with 2 doubles and an RBI.

Team record: 56-31. The Yankees dropped 3 of 4 to Philadelphia so the lead is up to 3 1/2 games, as healthy a margin as they've had in recent memory. Next up: We head to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field for 3 against the Cubs before hitting the All-Star break.

Rays news: Shane Baz went on his rehab assignment and was roughed up a bit in his first start at Durham; he'll get at least one more, perhaps two and join us the week after the break. Chirinos is probably the odd man out of the rotation in that scenario. Also we made an exciting July 2 signing:

The scouts seems to think he can be Juan Soto behind the plate, which would be an incredibly valuable thing indeed. Even if he gets 75% of the way there he'd be one of, if not the, top hitting catchers in baseball and as a result he's already considered a top 10 MLB prospect. Then again the guy we signed two years ago, Alex Duran, looked like Barry Bonds 2.0 and now is a mid-200s prospect who could still be good but not otherworldly.

MLB News: Reigning NL MVP Fernando Tatis Jr. fractured his foot and the Padres will be without him for most of the rest of the month.
