Game 1: Dave Rose's star-crossed season was on full display in the opener as he was hit for 5 runs before settling down and watching the Rays take a 7-5 lead, then giving up a couple of more runs and Tampa Bay eventually lost 8-7. Rose finished 4.1 6 7 7 3 6 and saw his ERA rise to 5.21 despite nearly a 3-WAR season. Chris Hetzel (3-4) gave up the winner. Tampa Bay got a 3-run homer from Jon Morales (#33) and a 4-hit game from Alex Duran, who drove in a run.

Game 2: The Rays annihilated Seattle 10-0 in the second game. Rex Bransington (7-2, 6.1 4 0 0 2 5) and Mike Bertram combined on the shutout while Beau Bonczek was 2-4 with a 3-run homer (#31) and 4 RBI as he is now the fourth Ray with 100+ ribbies. Luis Barela added a 2-run shot (#52) and Juan Davila (#21) found the seats with a man on as well.

Game 3: Tampa Bay dropped the rubber game 7-3 to Seattle and is now one loss or one Yankee win from officially being relegated to second place, and with the loss they'll now need to win their final six to avoid failing to reach the 100-win mark for the first time in a quarter-century when they only won 95 in 2025. Alec McInerney (8-2) went 5 5 4 4 1 5, giving up 3 in the 5th to lose a 2-1 lead. Nelson Corona got a start and led the offense going 3-4 with an RBI.

Team record: 94-62. Next up: Back home for 3 vs Cleveland, our final regular season home games before a wild card home game. The opponent in that game had looked for weeks like Oakland, but the A's have seen their second wild card lead dwindle to one over the Angels and two over the Twins so it's now anyone's guess. That's the only race left in MLB with the Yankees, White Sox and Astros AL division winners and the Mets, Brewers and Rockies taking their divisions in the NL with a Giants-Diamondbacks wild card game all set up.
