July 22-24, 2024: vs Detroit (3)

Game 1: 2-5 L. LP-Patino (9-5, 5 3 4 4 3 5). Patino was hit for 4 runs in the 2nd inning and the Rays never recovered. Caleb Ferguson gave up a homer to the first man he faced as a Ray with Riley Greene taking him deep.

Game 2: 4-3 W. WP-Fairbanks (1-4). S-Pressly (4/13). Starter-Rasmussen (6 5 3 3 1 3). HR-Meadows (5/15), Soto (23). Rays were down early 3-0 but a pair of homers brought them back with Meadows' 3-run shot tying it in the 6th and Soto's jack winning it in the 8th. Unfortunately Ozzie Albies had to leave with back stiffness and he'll miss two weeks as it's a "moderate" injury.

Transaction: Albies goes on the 10-day IL and with our normal replacement choice Royce Lewis also out injured, we had to purchase the contract of 2019 1st-round pick Greg Jones from Durham. Jones hasn't panned out with the bat but has a good glove at 2B and blazing speed. Jeremiah Jackson will make the bulk of the starts while Albies is out. To make room for Jones on the 40-man, Bryan Bello was DFA'd.

Game 3: 2-4 L. LP-Taylor (2-1). Starter-Baz (6 5 0 0 0 7). The pen blew this one as Baz left ahead 2-0 after 6 but in the 7th Feyereisen gave up a homer and then with two out and nobody on Taylor allowed a lefty to reach and then gave up a 2-run homer to another lefty, Riley Greene. Greg Jones made his MLB debut as a pinch-runner in the 7th and stole a base but was stranded.

Team record: 68-35. The Yankees took 2 of 3 in Seattle to move back within 5 1/2. Next up: An off-day then we travel to Minnesota for 3.
