July 5-7, 2024: at Chicago Cubs (3)

Game 1: 8-3 W. WP-McClanahan (11-3, 6 4 2 2 2 7). HR-Vaughn 2 (8), Albies (12). Andrew Vaughn celebrated his return to the city in which he started his MLB career with 2 dingers and 3 ribbies while Arozarena and Albies each drove in a pair.

Game 2: 6-5 W. WP-Rasmussen (5-3, 6 5 4 4 2 3). S-Feyereisen (6). HR-Mead (11). Mead's 2-run homer in the 7th broke a 4-4 tie and gave the Rays the win and the bullpen barely hung on (a run allowed in the 8th and two on in the 9th). Josh Lowe drove in 3 with a pair of doubles.

Game 3: 5-6 L. LP-Fairbanks (0-4). Starter-Swanda (5.1 5 4 3 0 6). The Rays were up 5-0 middle 6 before it all went wrong, starting with Swanda who took a 1-hitter into the inning. Fairbanks blew the save (his 5th) by allowing the tying run to score then gave up the winner and took the loss (his 4th) as he's become a far cry from the AL Reliever of the Year he was last season.

Team record: 58-32. The Yankees swept a good St. Louis team and moved to within 2 1/2 of the division lead. Next up: The All-Star break after which we'll play 4 games in Boston starting Thursday.
