August 5-7, 2024: at Philadelphia (3)

Transaction: Ryan Pressly went on the 60-day IL and he'll go to free agency, so adios to him. Colby White, who pitched well in a previous stint with the big club, comes up from Durham.

Game 1: 4-5 L. LP-Scott (4-2). Starter-Baz (5 6 3 3 1 5). HR-Arozarena (18). Arozarena's 2-run shot in the 4th gave them a 4-0 lead which they then proceeded to squander thanks at the end to a rare ineffective outing from Tanner Scott.

Game 2: 8-6 W. WP-Scott (5-2). S-Taylor (7/14). Starter-Swanda (4 6 5 5 5 3). This time the Rays were the comeback kids, scoring 4 times in the 9th with 2 out to pull out the win. Mead's infield single tied it and Vaughn's 2-run double won it. Fairbanks got the first crack at the save but loaded the bases and needed Taylor to bail him out so as good as he looked in the 7th & 8th innings lately he still has his problems in the 9th.

Game 3: 8-7 W. WP-Feyereisen (3-3). S-Taylor (8/15). Starter-McClanahan (4 7 6 6 3 3). HR-DeLoach 2 (4), Vazquez (4), Vaughn (10). They did it again in the 9th with DeLoach's 2nd homer of the game, a 2-run shot, winning it and completing a comeback from 6-1 down after another lousy start. Greg Jones had a big 2-run single to get them back within one, and Feyereisen earned the win with 3 perfect 4-whiff innings of relief on only 28 pitches.

Team record: 76-39, now 9 1/2 up on New York. Next up: An off-day traveling cross-country to play 3 in Seattle.
