Game 1: 5-3 W. WP-Green (6-3). S-Diaz (25). Starter-Eldridge (4.1 5 3 2 2 4). HR-Greene (6/24), Caminero (20). With two out in the 9th in a 3-3 game DeLoach and Wander hit doubles to break the deadlock and Albies singled in Wander. Shea Langeliers made his Rays debut and was 0-4, following in the tradition of our backup catchers this year.

Game 2: 6-2 W. WP-Swanda (11-7, 7 6 0 0 1 3). HR-DeLoach 2 (16), Cartaya (18). DeLoach had been in a mini-slump with the snowflake next to his name but broke out of it in a big way tonight, with a 3-run homer and a solo shot to lead the Rays to victory. Camilo Doval made his return to the Rays tonight and gave up a homer to the first man he faced in the 9th but got the next three to finish it out.

Game 3: 4-3 W (14). WP-German (4-0). S-Acosta (1). Starter-Bradley (5 5 1 1 0 5). HR-Wood (13). Max Green gave up a homer in the 8th to blow a 2-1 Rays lead and send us to extras where we eventually prevailed thanks to Wood's 2-run homer. German gave up a homer to Juan Soto in the bottom of the inning but Acosta came in and finished it out for his first Rays save to complete the sweep.

Team record: 68-41. So what did the sweep gain us? You guessed it - nada, thanks to the Jays sweeping the Yankees so the deadlock remains. Next up: Something will have to give as the Jays visit the Trop for 3 this weekend in a huge series after an off-day.

MLB News: The trade deadline was very active and the biggest deal saw Milwaukee trade star pitcher Corbin Burnes to the Padres for a package of five prospects. And then Burnes went out and pitched 7 no-hit innings in his San Diego debut but had to leave with a shoulder subluxation which might push his next start back a day. Seranthony Dominguez then came in and pitched two hitless innings to complete the combined no-hitter against Arizona.

Also former Rays Cy Young winner Blake Snell, now with St. Louis, saw his season end with a torn labrum and he'll miss most of 2029 as well.

Farm news: We had a couple of MiLB players of the month with Blaze Jordan, who started the year as our regular 1B before slumping badly, being named IL Batter of the Month after hitting .312-10-28. Jordan has bounced back nicely from a rough first month with Durham. Also at the AA level Montgomery OF Tommy Specht was named SL Player of the Month after a .375-6-16 July. Specht plays a 60 RF, has 65 speed, and has 55 power potential (but only 45 contact), making him a possible future 4th OF.
