August 23-25, 2024: vs Texas (3)
Game 1: 3-9 L. LP-Baz (5-7, 5 7 5 5 1 9). Baz gave up all his runs in the 2nd and was good otherwise but the damage was done. Soto was 2-3 with a walk and an RBI.
Game 2: 5-4 W. WP-Scott (6-2). S-Fairbanks (18). Starter-McClanahan (4.2 7 4 4 2 3). HR-Mead (13). Mead's 2-run homer in the bottom of the 8th won it for the Rays and Vaughn had a 2-run single. The poor start was the 4th straight for Mac, who's allowed 18 runs in 16 IP in that span with his ERA rising from 3.39 to 4.12.
Game 3: 9-0 W. WP-Swanda (12-5, 7 2 0 0 4 11). A laugher with a dominant outing from Swanda (whose ERA sits at 3.50). Wander and Mead had 3 hits while Soto and Bregman each drove in a pair.
Team record: 85-45. Magic number: 23. Next up: Toronto comes to the Trop for 4 games.
MLB News: The Dodgers, in the thick of the NL wild card race, will have to fight for a spot without star SS Trea Turner, who tore his groin and will miss the rest of the regular season and at least the wild card round should LA make it.
