September 13-15, 2024: vs Cleveland (3)
Game 1: 1-5 L. LP-Patino (11-7, 5.1 1 3 2 3 7). Patino had a no-hitter going into the 6th but loaded the bases and left with one out. Tanner Scott came in to face the lefty Anthony Rizzo, who greeted Scott with a grand slam and that was the game.
Game 2: 7-3 W. WP-McClanahan (17-4, 6.2 7 3 1 0 3). S-Taylor (10/17). HR-Soto (30), Cain (4/9). Soto's 2-run shot and Cain's solo blast in the first two innings got them an early 4-1 lead and after Cleveland got within 4-3 a 3-run 8th highlighted by a 2-run Mead single iced the game.
Game 3: 5-7 L. LP-Swanda (14-7, 4 8 6 6 2 5). Swanda was terrible but the Rays had numerous chances to win this one, leaving 11 on base and putting 19 men on in total. They loaded the bases with one out in the 9th and to sum up the game, Cain (who left 8 on base) grounded into a game-ending double play, the third they hit into. Arozarena was 4-4.
Team record: 94-55. Magic number: 4. Next up: A day-off then 3 games in St. Louis including one scheduled against former Rays ace Blake Snell.
