August 28-30, 2026: vs Cleveland (3)

Game 1: 4-0 W. WP-McClanahan (11-3, 6.2 1 0 0 3 6). HR-Luciano (5/14). Another big-time pitching matchup with Mac up against Shane Bieber again and Mac come out on top with a brilliant outing while Luciano's 2-run homer off Bieber was all the Rays needed to win.

Game 2: 0-2 L
. LP-Swanda (8-10, 6 7 2 1 1 3). The bats were held to 6 hits and another good pitching performance was wasted.

Game 3: 5-1 W. WP-Montas (2-1, 6 1 1 1 4 5). HR-DeLoach (12), Wood (4), Mead (19), Luciano (6/15). The offense scored all 5 runs in the first 2 innings on the 4 homers and took the rest of the day off, but a brilliant outing from Montas meant they could.

Team record: 66-64. The good news is that with Toronto being swept they're only 1 1/2 back in the division; the bad news is that the red-hot Yankees swept their series and leapfrogged the Rays into second place in the division. They're 3 1/2 back in the wild card. Next up: A huge 3-game series with those very Yankees in New York. One break for the Rays though: the Yankees will be without superstar and former Ray Juan Soto for the rest of the regular season with a hamstring strain.
