Game 1: 7-5 W. WP-Riley (1-1). S-Diaz (12). Starter-German (4.1 6 4 4 2 6). HR-DeLoach (11), Rivera (3). B.Jordan (3). Looked like a long night at the Trop when German struggled and the Rays were down 5-0 in the 6th. But a 3-run rally keyed by a 2-run Wood double got them back in it and Blaze Jordan completed the comeback with a 3-run homer in the 8th.

Transaction: Signed free agent 2B Kolten Wong to a minor league deal with a $130K bonus, added Wong to the active roster, DFA'd IF Brooks Lee. Wong was the best free agent still sitting out there and with Albies still out for another month we needed better than Lee, who was hitting 126/198/195. Wong's 10-15 HR power and .250-.260 BA isn't sexy but it's an upgrade.

Game 2: 4-2 W. WP-Eldridge (7-2, 7 5 1 1 3 4). S-Acosta (1). HR-Rivera (4), F.Encarnacion (1). Eldridge was excellent and Angel Rivera homered for the second straight day, this one a 3-run shot in the 4th which provided the necessary offense as the Rays sweep the 2-game mini-series at home.

Team record: 39-33, 1/2 game behind Toronto. Next up: We're off to Citi Field to play 2 more against these same Mets.

MLB News: A milestone was reached in the first game of the series when Mets 3B Matt Chapman hit career homer #300.
