Game 1: 0-2 L. LP-Rasmussen (4-8, 5 6 2 2 1 4). Yet another frustrating loss as the Rays kept getting baserunners and kept hitting into double plays, 4 of them in all and 3 coming off the bat of Curtis Mead.

Game 2: 18-1 W. WP-McClanahan (9-2, 6 5 1 1 0 5). S-German (1). HR-Luciano 2 (2/11), Torkelson (23/27), DeLoach (8). One of the reasons our Pythageorean record is so much better than our actual is that we've had 3-4 routs like this and today they were scoring so many runs that I was actively angry that they weren't coming in other games. Marco Luciano was 3-4 with 2 HR and 5 RBI and Zach DeLoach was 4-5 with 2 doubles, the homer and 3 RBI. Luis German went 3 perfect innings fanning 7 for the save.

Game 3: 5-6 L. LP-Hendriks (1-6). Starter-Swanda (4.1 5 2 2 4 1). HR-Cartaya (7), Santana (1/15), Luciano (3/12). Rays led this 5-2 after 6 with homers from the new acquisitions before it all went wrong, culminating in Liam Hendriks giving up a 3-run homer to Ronny Mauricio in the 8th for the winner, a game that just encapsulated this incredibly annoying season. Hendriks might be the least clutch pitcher I've ever had in a save, taking his 6th loss and 4th blown save despite having numbers that are superficially good (a 3.20 ERA, 12/46 BB/K ratio in 39 IP) but every one of the six homers he's allowed has been a back-breaker. Not sure I can trust him in any kind of high-leverage role again.

Team record: 48-52. Still 3 1/2 back in the division and 3 in the wild card but it's getting late in the season and there are some years when your luck just doesn't even out in the end. Next up: Seattle visits for 3.
