The Rays' woes continued as they dropped 2 of 3 at home to Toronto while the Yankees swept Baltimore and then won on our day off, putting us 3 1/2 behind New York. That's the same margin by which we're ahead of Cleveland for the 3rd wild card but our sights are higher.

Toronto scored 4 times in the 2nd off Kevin DiCostanzo and that would be all they'd need as the Rays dropped the opener 4-2 on July 4. DiCostanzo (4-4) pitched well outside of that unfortunate stretch, finishing 5 5 4 4 0 9 but the damage was done.

Tampa Bay came back late to take the second game 6-3 with all six runs coming in the 6th and 7th after Toronto went up 3-0 in the top of the 6th. Joe Marlette was hooked up in a scoreless duel until the Jays broke through against him in that frame and he finished 5.2 6 3 3 3 7. Dong-hwan Kim had his fingerprints on both big innings, singling a run in the 6th and driving in two more in the 7th. Kelly Crumpton's RBI double in the 7th was the decider, making a winner of Mike Moore (2-3) with Nathan Dettmer notching save #8.

The Jays took the rubber match 7-4, scoring four times in the first off Michael Prosecky who had his second straight brutal start. After giving up 7 runs in 1 1/3 last time out Prosecky (3-4) wasn't much better today, going 3 9 5 5 1 2 and his seen his ERA jump from 3.24 to 4.42 in that time. JT Realmuto tried his best to keep the Rays in it, going 3-3 with a walk, double, homer (#15) and 2 RBI.

Team record: 45-37. Next up: An off-day then we'll try to get right against Seattle, which visits for 3 games.
