June 22-24, 2029: at St. Louis (3)
Game 1: 7-5 W. WP-Swanda (4-4, 5 11 4 4 1 3). S-Riley (2). HR-Franco (9). Swanda and the staff gave up 14 hits, but 3 DPs and a man thrown out at the plate allowed them to avoid too much danger and Wander had a huge game with 2 doubles, a homer and 3 RBI. Luciano was also 2-3 with 2 RBI.
Game 2: 2-3 L. LP-German (4-2, 6 5 3 3 1 8). HR-Franco (10). A tough one for the Rays as German gave up a 2-run homer to Henry Davis that was the difference.
Game 3: 9-2 W. WP-Eldridge (8-2, 5 4 2 2 3 8). HR-Haro (7), Franco (11), Luciano (10), E.Green (7). Luciano's grand slam capped a 5-run 7th and broke open a 3-2 game in the Rays' favor.
Team record: 41-36. Toronto also won 2 of 3 so the Rays remain 2 1/2 behind in the division, although they did move into the third wild card, 1/2 game ahead of Oakland. Next up: An off-day then 39-39 San Diego comes to the Trop for 3 games.
