Game 1: 2-7 L. LP-Bradley (6-4, 3 5 1 1 1 3). HR-Luciano (13). A disaster of a day in more ways than one as Taj Bradley, 3rd in the AL and 5th in MLB in ERA at 2.95, tore a meniscus and is done for the year, further thinning our already-weak pitching depth. The pen was terrible behind him, but the offense didn't do much either.

Transaction: Bradley goes on the 15-day IL for now and we acquired reliever Jake Cousins from Atlanta for a minor leaguer not worth mentioning. Cousins is rated 65/45/55 so good stuff when he keeps the ball in the park. JP Sears, who has been uncharacteristically lousy this year in relief, will now get a shot in the rotation.

Game 2: 2-4 L. LP-Swanda (4-5, 5 8 4 4 1 4). The losing streak reached 4 as the bats were limp again with only Haro's 3-4 with an RBI double worthy of mention.

Game 3: 6-5 W. WP-Riley (2-1). S-Diaz (13). Starter-German (4.1 5 3 3 2 8). HR-DeLoach (13). Finally back in the win column thanks to a big late comeback. Down 5-2, DeLoach's 2-run shot in the 7th got them back in it, Encarnacion's RBI single in the 8th tied it and Santana's grounder in the 9th with the bases loaded was muffed to allow the winning run. DeLoach had a 3-hit, 3-RBI day overall.

Game 4: 8-5 W. WP-Orze (3-5). S-Diaz (14). Starter-Eldridge (4.2 11 3 3 0 3). HR-Santana (22), Rivera (6). Rays salvaged a split but nearly frittered away an early 6-0 lead in this one. Santana's 3-run homer in the first was the big hit but Eldridge didn't really have it today although he limited the damage, giving up 11 hits and 2 homers but only 3 runs, Orze got the win despite allowing two more homers including an inside-the-parker and New York got within 6-5 but Rivera's 2-run shot in the 8th provided much-needed breathing room.

Team record: 46-41. Now 6 1/2 back in the division but still 1/2 game up in the third wild card (actually the second, tied with the Angels).

MLB News: Veteran Dodgers closer Emmanuel Clase picked up save #300.
