September 7-9, 2027: vs Seattle (3)

Game 1: 2-1 W (10). WP-Moran (3-2). Starter-Swanda (7 1 0 0 3 5). Swanda was brilliant once again but it looked like Seattle would win this when they broke a 0-0 tie in the 10th off Fairbanks. But James Wood came through with a 2-out, 2-run double to walk it off in the bottom of the inning.

Game 2: 4-7 L. LP-Orze (9-5, 5 6 5 5 1 7). Orze was treated rudely by his former team, giving up all 5 runs in the 3rd, including a homer by former Ray Nate Lowe. Wander was 3-5 with a double, triple and 2 RBI in the loss.

Game 3: 6-9 L. LP-Castillo (7-5, 3.1 7 7 6 0 2). HR-Wood (14). Despite a couple of decent rehab starts Luis Castillo looked rusty in his return from the IL as the Rays suffered a rare series loss. The game wasn't really this close as Tampa Bay scored 4 times in the 9th to make the final margin respectable.

Team record: 91-49
. Despite dropping the series the magic number to clinch the division is down to 7. Next up: Houston visits for 3. The Astros lead the AL West with a 78-63 record.

MLB News: Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani, who had already missed much of the season before coming back mid-year, is out again with ulnar nerve entrapment which will end his season. Even worse news for another Angel as pitcher Jordan Hicks has seen his career end after Tommy John surgery was ultimately unsuccessful.
