April 10-12, 2026: vs Houston (3)
Game 1: 4-5 L. LP-Bradley (0-1, 6 9 5 5 0 3). Taj was hit for 5 runs in the first two innings and although he settled in after that the damage was done. Schmitt had a 2-run double and Vaughn was 2-3 with a double, triple and RBI.
Game 2: 3-8 L. LP-McClanahan (0-2, 6 7 7 6 1 5, 2 HR). HR-Albies (2). Like Bradley yesterday Mac was hit hard early, giving up 6 in the first 3 innings as the miserable start to 2026 continues. All 3 Rays runs came on an Albies homer, he now has 8 RBI in the first 6 games as one of the few on the team producing.
Game 3: 4-3 W. WP-Castillo (1-1, 5.2 6 3 3 0 4). S-Fairbanks (1). HR-Franco (2). Finally a win and finally a win from a starter. The pen was outstanding, holding Houston hitless over the final 3 1/3. Schmitt's RBI double and Wander's homer were the big hits but the winner came courtesy of an Albies sac fly, his 9th RBI already which is 2nd-best in the AL.
Team record: 2-5. Next up: We'll try to get right against the White Sox, who visit for 3.
