We split the two-game quickie series in Toronto but widened our division lead to two games as the Yankees dropped both their games in Baltimore.

A pair of longballs and a solid Joe Marlette start added up to a 5-2 win in the first game over the Jays. The toasty Joshua Baez evened the game up at 1 in the 2nd with his 23rd, and with the Rays nursing a 1-run lead in the 8th with this year's bullpen Dong-hwan Kim hit a big 2-run shot (#16) to give us some breathing room. Marlette went to 8-3 after a solid 6 4 2 2 2 3 performance and Nathan Dettmer racked up his 12th save.

Stop me if you've heard this one before as the bullpen let the Rays down in a 5-4 loss to Toronto in the second game. Chris Gutierrez hit their third homer of the game (#8) to tie it up at 4 in the 7th but Dax Fulton (4-3) coughed up a run in the 8th to send them to defeat. This was after Seth Elledge put them behind 4-2 after allowing a couple of runs in the 6th. Shane Panzini had a wild start, going 4.1 4 2 1 5 4, and the first two Tampa Bay runs came on homers from Willi Castro (#10, leading off the game) and Cristian Hernandez (#14). Castro's homer meant everyone in the everyday lineup except Gutierrez (at 8) has reached double-digit dingers.

Team record: 54-40. Next up: Another 2-game mini-series back at the Trop against the Orioles.

MLB News: A sad report from St. Louis where former Rays prospect JJ Goss had to call it a career after a torn rotator cuff. We dealt Goss to St. Louis way back in 2022 in a deal for Jack Flaherty and although he was up and down with Cardinals throughout his career he pitched well while in the bigs at 14-15, 3.59 in 303 IP over 88 games, 52 of which were starts.
