Game 1: 7-8 L. LP-Fairbanks (3-2). Starter-Eldridge (3.2 8 7 7 2 3). HR-DeLoach (10), Santana (15), Franco (16). Eldridge was handed a 6-1 lead in the 4th inning thanks to those three homers and a 2-run double from Riley Greene in his Rays debut, but he gave up hit after hit (three of the infield variety) and the Dodgers went up 7-6 by the time it was done. The Rays tied it in the 7th but Fairbanks put the leadoff man on in the bottom of the 9th and Max Green gave up a 2-out Austin Hays double to lose it.

Game 2: 5-3 W (13). WP-Sears (5-0). Starter-Orze (5 3 1 1 2 3). HR-Albies (13). Another bullpen breakdown as Fairbanks gave up a 2-run homer in the 8th to let LA tie it at 3 but Cartaya's RBI double against his old team broke the tie in the 13th and the Rays eked out the win. Bad news though as starting 3B Marco Luciano broke his elbow and is done for the year.

Transaction: Luciano goes on the 60-day IL and we purchased the contract of 3B Freili Encarnacion from Durham. Encarnacion was acquired from Houston in the Curtis Mead trade last winter and was hitting 266/340/438 with the Bulls with 11 HR and 39 RBI and playing a solid hot corner. He'll get a lot of starts with Jeremiah Jackson and Max Viera mixing in.

Game 3: 2-4 L (18). LP-Beeter (4-6). Starter-Swanda (6 6 0 0 1 7). Ugh. We lost a 1-0 lead in the 9th and a 2-1 lead in the 10th and had to end up playing 31 innings in two days with it finally ending when Beeter gave up a 2-run homer. They only managed 10 hits in the 18 innings with Wander getting five of them and Caminero three, so the rest of the team was an incredibly bad 2 for 47.

Team record: 50-31. The Jays demolished the Giants by a combined 22-2 in the two games they played to make it 10 straight wins and pulled to within 1 1/2 games as the division lead keeps dwindling. Next up: 3 at home vs the San Antonio Seagulls, who are the relocated Pittsburgh Pirates.
