Game 1: 2-4 L. LP-Gau (4-3). Starter-McClanahan (7 4 2 2 0 7). It was 2-2 into the 9th when the pen lost it. Gau put the leadoff man on, Moran loaded the bases, and Doval gave up the winning hit. Wander had 3 doubles and an RBI in a losing cause.

Game 2: 2-4 L. LP-Fairbanks (3-5). Starter-Eldridge (6 5 2 2 2 5). HR-Mead (22). Deja vu all over again as for the second straight day it was 2-2 in the 9th and the bullpen coughed up the game, this time Fairbanks allowing a 2-run homer. Wander had his 2nd straight 3-hit game for naught.

Game 3: 3-2 W (14). WP-Ruegger (5-4). Starter-Swanda (7.1 5 2 2 1 7). HR-Albies (16), Luciano (17). It looked like the pen would lose a third straight game late when Houston scored against Doval in the 10th but Albies homered in the bottom of the inning to tie it and Luciano hit one out to walk it off with 2 out in the 14th. Before that it was an as-advertised pitching duel between Houston's Jack Flaherty and Swanda who are #1 and #3 respectively in AL pitcher WAR.

Team record: 92-51. Despite losing another series the magic number for the AL East keeps dropping and now it's only 3. Next up: An off-day then 3 games in Baltimore.
