A disappointing series for the Rays in San Antonio where they dropped a pair to the 44-76 Alamos before winning the finale. Toronto also lost 2 of 3 so we remain tied with them in first.

The 7-6 loss to San Antonio in the opener was doubly unfortunate in that they blew a 5-1 lead, came back to tie, and then lost on a walk-off homer in the 9th. Bobby Marin had a pair of homers (#6 & 7) including a grand slam and the equalizer to tie it at 6 while Wander Franco also went deep with his 10th, but Ethan McElvain couldn't stand prosperity and gave up 5 runs in the 5th to finish 4.2 8 6 6 2 4. And then Devon Williams, whom I'm not going to trust in a critical situation again for a while, took his 4th loss and gave up his 4th homer in 18 innings since joining the club when he gave up the walk-off winner in the 9th.

Another big inning doomed the Rays as the Alamos scored 6 times in the 3rd on their way to an 8-2 rout. Chris Ferguson (11-6) ended up 4 7 7 7 1 3 in a brutal outing. Danny Arroyave's solo homer (#28) was the lone Tampa Bay highlight.

It was Danny Morales to the rescue in the finale as the young righty went 7 shutout innings in a 4-2 Rays win. Morales (13-4) was spotless at 7 5 0 0 2 4 and while the bullpen gave up a couple including one in the 9th from Mike Moore, he held on for save #24. All the offense came in the 6th on 2-run homers from Jake Westfall (#26) and Nate Strickland (#29).

Team record: 74-47. Next up: We won't be tied with the Jays after the next series as we head across our North border to play a showdown 3-game set in Toronto.

MLB News: Milestones, we got your milestones! Ronald Acuna Jr. of the Mets hit career homer #600, Jose Ramirez of St. Louis belted his 500th, and Cleveland's Adalberto Mondesi recorded career hit #2000.
