August 17-19, 2027: vs Toronto (3)

Game 1: 5-9 L. LP-Bradley (4-5). Starter-Orze (3.2 5 3 3 4 1). HR-Caminero (4), Franco (24). Rays came back from 3-0 down to tie it, but the bullpen coughed up 6 runs in the 7th and 8th to lose it. Caminero was 3-3 with a walk and his homer.

Transaction: Garrett Whitlock's rehab time is up so he returns and Brian Gonzalez, who largely pitched well, is sent to Durham.

Game 2: 11-6 W. WP-Sears (5-2). S-Ruegger (3). Starter-Whitlock (2 8 5 5 0 3). HR-DeLoach (15). Whitlock was horrible in his return and put them in an early 4-0 hole, but the bats battled back to overwhelm the Jays. Mead was 3-5 with a pair of doubles and 5 RBI while Santana drove in 3 as well.

Game 3: 6-8 L. LP-McClanahan (12-5, 2.1 3 3 3 0 3). HR-N.Santana (13), Albies (15). For the third straight game we had to go to the pen early as today Mac left in the 3rd with back tightness (he'll make his next start) and a tired bullpen gave up five more runs. Jays were up 7-0 before the Rays made it interesting on a Santana slam and Albies' 2-run shot but Doval gave up his first Rays run in the 9th to give Toronto some insurance.

Team record: 76-45. Rays have hit their first really bad stretch of the year, losing 7 of their last 9 but still hold an 11-game lead on Toronto. Next up: 3 games at Fenway.

MLB News: The Mets keep on keepin' on, now winners of 18 straight. This streak is tied for 10th all-time in MLB but they're still 8 off of the NL and MLB record set by the 1916 Giants. Also Juan Soto hit his 300th career homer.
