August 28-31, 2028: at Baltimore (4)
Game 1: 5-2 W. WP-Moran (5-1). S-Diaz (32). Starter-Orze (4 4 2 2 3 4). HR-DeLoach (22), Albies (20), Green (10/28). Albies' 2-run homer in the 9th broke a 2-2 tie and gave the Rays the win, and Greene went back-to-back with him.
Game 2: 10-4 W. WP-Swanda (15-8, 5 7 3 3 2 4). HR-Caminero (26), Langeliers (1/3), J.Jackson 2 (6). Production from the bench as Langeliers hit the first homer by a Rays backup C this season and Jackson had his second two-homer game of the month, driving in 3. Santana, Caminero and Langeliers each knocked in a pair.
Game 3: 2-6 L. LP-Khattak (1-1, 5 5 4 4 1 3). Khattak's second start wasn't as good as his first but better than the line indicated. He gave up a 2-run homer to Coby Mayo (who homered twice and drove in 5) in the 4th then put two men on in the 6th and left, only for JP Sears to allow those runners to score.
Game 4: 5-1 W. WP-Eldridge (10-7, 6 5 1 0 1 4). HR-DeLoach (23), Albies (21). DeLoach and Albies drove in all 5 runs as DeLoach homered to lead off the game and added a 2-run single while Albies had a solo homer and RBI single to back the quality pitching of Eldridge.
Team record: 86-48. Yes, Toronto also won 3 of 4 so we're still tied. Next up: Back home for 3 vs Houston.
