Game 1: 7-6 W (17). WP-Swanda (13-9). Starter-Rasmussen (5 2 1 1 2 5). HR-Franco (14), Schmitt (27). Wander's 2-run homer in the 7th gave us a 4-1 win, which should have been enough to win, but Pressly gave up 2 more runs in the 8th and after it was 5-3 Fairbanks blew the save with 2 allowed and on and on we went. The teams traded runs in the 16th before Casey Schmitt walked it off in the 17th with a homer, making a winner of Swanda who was supposed to be tomorrow night's starter but instead was the 11th pitcher of the night for the Rays. Ozzie Albies had 5 hits on the night including 3 doubles.

Game 2: 1-4 L. LP-Patino (6-2, 4 8 2 2 2 3). Patino's first (semi-)lousy start since coming back up, and the bats were shackled by Chicago's Walker Buehler.

Game 3: 6-3 W. WP-Gau (13-3). S-Fairbanks (27). Starter-Baz (4.2 5 2 2 4 7). HR-Tucker (36), Mead (18). Wander's RBI double and a Mead solo shot keyed a 3-run 5th which put the Rays ahead to stay. Tucker was 3-4 with the homer, a triple and 2 RBI.

Team record: 92-60. The magic # is down to 5 and with the Royals dropping a pair in Philly the Rays' lead for the #2 seed is up to 3 1/2 games with 10 left.

MLB News: The Mets, in a battle for both the NL East (a bit of a longshot) and a wild card (along with half the league), lost closer Andres Munoz for the rest of the season with a fractured elbow. And the Blue Jays, in a 3-way battle with Detroit and Chicago for two wild card spots in the AL, suffered a big blow when star SS Bo Bichette tore his hamstring and will be out three weeks.

Rays News: We claimed catcher Drew Romo on waivers. The supplemental first-round pick of the Rockies in 2020 was dealt to Arizona in June and they waived him. He's not much of a hitter (40 contact/45 power) but has a 70 glove behind the plate so he'll make a potentially good backup. For now he's off to Durham.
