July 15-18, 2027: at Toronto (4)

Game 1: 7-6 W. WP-Gau (3-1). S-Fairbanks (26). Starter-McClanahan (6 5 0 0 0 7). HR-Albies (12), Cartaya (17). Cartaya rescued the Rays from a major bullpen meltdown as Toronto scored 6 off German and Gau in the 7th & 8th to erase a 5-0 Rays lead but his 2-run shot in the 9th won it. Albies had a 2-run shot and Wander was 3-5 with an RBI.

Game 2: 3-4 L (15). LP-Gaston (2-1). Starter-Eldridge (5 4 1 1 4 4). For the second straight game Cartaya homered off Toronto's Emmanuel Clase in the 9th to erase a Jays lead, but this time it only tied the game and the Jays eventually prevailed in 15. Rays batters struck out a whopping 24 times in the 15 innings.

Transaction: Natanael Santana is activated from the IL and Fu-Chi Chin is returned to Durham.

Game 3: 13-1 W
. WP-Swanda (9-2, 7 5 1 1 0 3). HR-N.Santana 2 (9), Mead (14), Albies (13), Cartaya (19), Franco (21). Rays opened a can of whoop-ass on Toronto today and Natanael Santana, who homered in the two games before he went on the IL, picked up where he left off with homers in his first 2 AB back and drove in 5 on the day, and Cartaya homered for the third straight game.

Game 4: 6-17 L. LP-Orze (6-4, 2.2 7 8 8 3 4). HR-Caminero (2). And the Jays borrowed that can to use on the Rays today to split the series with an 8-run 3rd and a 7-run 7th. Taj Bradley gave up 6 in 3 2/3 in relief on an ugly all-around day.

Team record: 61-33
, 8 games up just as we came into the series. Next up: A day off then back home for 3 vs San Francisco with the Giants having a mirror image of our record at 33-61.
