Game 1: 5-10 L. LP-Moran (3-3). Starter-Rasmussen (4 8 5 5 1 5). The Rays came back to tie this one up by the 6th after falling behind 5-0 after 4, only to see the bullpen give up five runs to lose it. Albies was 3-5 with a double 3 RBI while DeLoach was 2-4 with 2 doubles and an RBI. Garrett Whitlock made his Rays debut with 2 scoreless innings.

Game 2: 9-6 W. WP-McClanahan (10-2, 5.2 7 6 5 2 5). S-Fairbanks (18). HR-Pinto (1), Torkelson (27/31), Franco (19). On paper this looked like it'd be a pitchers' duel between Mac and Shane Bieber but instead it turned into a slugfest. Wander had a 2-run double and 2-run homer and a 6-run 4th was pivotal as the Rays scored enough to offset a rare poor start from McClanahan.

Game 3: 1-3 L. LP-Swanda (7-9, 5 6 3 3 3 3). Rays were dominated by Cleveland's Tink Hence in this one (7 3 1 1 2 10) but had great chances against the Guardian bullpen to tie or go ahead in the 8th (bases loaded) and 9th (two men on) but couldn't get the key hit they needed as they dropped another series.

Team record: 52-57, as their lack of wins finally is starting to catch up with them as combined with a Toronto sweep they now find themselves a season-high 4 1/2 out in the division and 5 back of the third wild card. Barring a ridiculously hot run they've shown no signs of embarking on, this is really shaping up to be a lost season.
