September 16-18, 2025: at Baltimore (3)
Game 1: 12-3 W. WP-McClanahan (11-5, 5.2 8 3 3 0 5). HR-Franco (12), M.Taylor 2 (2). Michael A. Taylor homered twice and drove in five to lead the Rays to a rout of the Orioles. Wander set the tone by leading off the game with a dinger and was 3-6, scoring 4 times.
Game 2: 2-3 L. LP-Pressly (6-3). Starter-Rasmussen (6 2 2 2 0 5). After a few good outings it looked like Ryan Pressly was turning the corner but brought into in a 2-2 game in the 8th he gave up a homer to let Baltimore win. The bats were held to four hits with Tucker's 2-run double the only one of significance.
Game 3: 5-9 L. LP-Swanda (12-9, 3 9 8 5 0 0, 2 HR). HR-Mead (17), Pinto (4). Swanda was awful, and although the Rays tied it up at 5 in the 3rd on Pinto's homer and another 2-run Tucker double, the righty gave it right back to Baltimore on a night he had nothing.
Team record: 89-57. The magic # is down to 10 and the Yankees actually did us a favor by sweeping KC so we still lead them by 2 1/2 for the 2-seed. Next up: Finally back home for 3 vs Boston.
