August 6-8, 2029: at Miami (3)

Game 1: 3-2 W. WP-German (7-3, 6.2 6 2 2 1 10). S-Moran (1). HR-Caminero (17). It was German and Caminero show as the righty was dominant, recording his second 10-K start of the year and Caminero drove in all 3 runs with a 2-run homer and RBI single, the latter breaking a 2-2 tie in the 6th.

Transaction
: James Wood is up from Durham and Mitsuyoski Arakawa was sent back there. Here's hoping Wood's red-hot 3 weeks with the Bulls get him going again.

Game 2: 8-2 W. WP-Sears (2-4, 7 4 2 1 1 5). HR-Caminero 2 (19). Junior Caminero is on a tear, homering twice more and driving in 3 while Wander was 2-5 with 2 RBI and Sears was excellent.

Game 3: 5-3 W. WP-Khattak (5-4, 5 8 2 2 0 2). S-Diaz (20). HR-Santana (31), Luciano (16), DeLoach (19). The Rays swept their second straight series and made it 8 wins in a row in a game which they were fortunate to win. Miami put 18 men on base in this game but only brought three of them home while the Rays were held to 7 hits but 3 of them were homers which accounted for 4 runs in the 5th. Side note: newly acquired Anthony Rendon is still looking for his first Rays hit, now 0-15 with 2 walks. Luciano was 3-4 tonight with the homer so he's making his case to put Rendon on the bench when Haro comes back.

Team record: 63-52. Thanks to the Jays losing a pair in Houston we're now only 1 1/2 back of them so there's a legitimate race in the AL East. We're also tied for the top wild card. Next up: A day off to make the longest trip possible in MLB, flying from Miami to Seattle for 3 games.

MLB News: Veteran 3B Gio Urshela announced his retirement and former Ray and current Cardinal Blake Snell tore his flexor tendon and is out 11 months.
