The Rays dropped their second straight series but didn't lose any ground as the Yankees continue to reel as well with the same result, so it's status quo at 5 games up.

LA's Carson McKinney dominated the Rays' bats to the tune of 7 2 0 0 1 9 as the Angels took the opener 3-1. Only an Arturo Guiterrez homer in the 8th (#24) kept them from being shut out as he had 2 of the team's 4 hits on the night. Wes Mendes (8-3) was 4.2 6 3 3 0 4 in the loss.

Transaction: Orlando Tosado was activated off the IL and Caleb Hampton was optioned to Durham.

The bats bounced back in the second game, leading Tampa Bay to a 9-4 win. Orlando Tosado celebrated his return from the IL by blasting a pair of homers (#14 & 15), including a 2-run shot in the 2nd that got them going. Dong-hwan Kim also went deep (#19) and Joshua Baez had a 2-run double to support Joe Marlette (12-3), who wasn't at his best tonight but didn't have to be at 5 6 4 3 3 8. Eddie Yean went the final 3 innings for his first save.

For the second time in three nights Rays bats were largely turned to sawdust as the Angels took the series with a 4-2 walk-off win in 12 innings. LA's Sam Weatherly came into the game with a 5.69 ERA but you wouldn't know it tonight as he no-hit the Rays into the 8th inning when Cristian Hernandez singled to break it up. That hit led to a 2-run rally in the inning which tied the game up, but that was about it as they managed only 4 hits in the 12 innings and fanned 17 times. Michael Prosecky was decent at 4.2 6 1 1 1 5 and the bullpen was pretty good except for Garrett Crochet, who gave up a solo homer in an inning of work in his Rays debut, and Mason Feole (3-1), who served up a 2-run walk-off blast in the 12th.

Team record: 56-30. Next up: A day off then back home for 3 vs Cleveland before we hit the All-Star break.
