August 4-6, 2028: vs Toronto (3)
Game 1: 3-6 L. LP-G.Rodriguez (11-4, 6 7 6 6 2 7). HR-Wood (14). The showdown series with the Jays did not get off to a good start as Grayson was hit for 6 runs in the 2nd capped by a 3-run Vlad Jr homer. He settled in after that but the damage was done.
Game 2: 1-2 L. LP-German (4-1). Starter-Orze (4 5 1 1 1 2). The Rays dropped 2 behind the Jays after they couldn't hit and German was wild in the 5th, walking 3 to help Toronto to the winning run. To add insult to injury a couple of guys we traded to them this year pitched scoreless innings with Beeter pitching the 7th and Gau getting the save.
Game 3: 7-3 W. WP-Eldridge (9-5, 5 6 2 1 1 8). S-Doval (1). HR-Caminero (21), DeLoach (17), Santana (22), Wood (15). Tampa Bay avoided the sweep and avoided disaster with the win to pull them back within a game of the division lead. A 5-run 2nd keyed by DeLoach's 3-run shot was decisive.
Team record: 69-43. Next up: The White Sox visit the Trop for 3 games.
