Game 1: 4-11 L. LP-Dodson (2-2). Starter-Espino (4 7 2 2 2 4). HR-Franco (7). A close game got away in the 7th when Minnesota scored 7 times, including 5 off Charlie Ruegger and as a result a brilliant game from Wander (4-5, 2B, HR, 3 RBI) was wasted.

Game 2: 2-6 L. LP-Bradley (6-3, 4.2 8 5 5 2 4). HR-Santana (19), Franco (8). Once again a big inning was the Rays' undoing as Bradley was hit for 4 runs in the 5th to break open a 1-0 game.

Game 3: 6-3 W. WP-Swanda (3-4, 7.2 6 0 0 1 3). S-Diaz (11). HR-Caminero (12), Santana (20). Swanda was excellent but with a 6-0 lead into the 9th, Eric Orze gave up 3 runs and put two more men on, necessitating Diaz to come in for the save as Orze can't seem to get it done in the pen either. Santana's 3-run shot in the 7th put the game away and turned out to be the difference.

Team record: 37-33. Toronto swept its series, dropping the Rays 1 1/2 games behind in the AL East and they're also 1 back of the third wild card. Next up: The Mets come to the Trop for 2 games.

Some news:

It was announced today that Tampa Bay left fielder Natanael Santana has been acclaimed by the American League as the Player of the Week for his outstanding play last week.

Santana posted a .478 batting average as he collected 11 hits in 23 at-bats, 3 home runs and 8 RBIs.

So far this season Santana is hitting .287 with 20 home runs.

Also some other news, not as good: Grayson Rodriguez's comeback attempt for 2029 is over as he left his second rehab start at Durham and will have surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow. His ratings were already seriously downgraded (essentially to replacement-level starting pitcher) so it's possible he doesn't pitch for us (or anyone) again as we still have him under contract for 2030.
