Game 1: 3-1 W. WP-Evans (3-0, 6 2 0 0 1 4). S-Diaz (24). HR-Rivera (16), Rendon (4/19). Donye Evans was dazzling in his first Rays start and homers from Rivera and Rendon tacked on to a 1-0 lead.

Transactions: Robby Castillo and Charlie Ruegger were brought up from Durham for September roster expansion.

Game 2: 5-6 L. LP-Okuda (2-4). Starter-Swanda (4 6 5 4 2 6). HR-Franco (19), Santana (38). Rays trailed 5-0 going into the 6th when Wander hit a 2-run homer and Santana followed later with a 3-run shot to tie it, only for Okuda and Acosta to combine to allow the winner in the 7th.

Game 3: 1-2 L (10). LP-Diaz (5-9). Starter-Eldridge (6 5 1 1 2 4). Eldridge finally gave them a good start and then the bats went silent, and Edwin Diaz lost his 9th game (never a good number for your closer) when he allowed a homer to Kris Bryant in his second inning of work. The Rays have now lost 5 of 6 after their 19-5 run.

Team record: 75-62. We've now dropped into a tie with Boston for the first wild card and the division has become a pipe dream again as we've fallen 6 1/2 back after closing to 1 1/2 only a week ago. Next up: An off-day then a return home to play 3 against Seattle.
