September 18-20, 2029: at Milwaukee (3)

Game 1: 13-3 W. WP-Sears (3-5, 6 7 2 2 1 5). HR-DeLoach (23), Albies (17), Caminero (24), Santana (43), Franco 2 (23), Wood (18). Rays hit four homers in the first off Lucas Giolito and didn't stop homering after that, getting 7 in all in the rout. Wander drove in 4 total and DeLoach had 4 hits including his homer.

Game 2: 7-1 W. WP-Swanda (12-9, 6 5 1 1 2 6). HR-Franco (24), DeLoach (24), E.Green (14). This was a somewhat close game until Green hit a 3-run homer in the 8th to break it open. The news wasn't all good though as James Wood tore his labrum and is done until next April while Eric Orze has a strained forearm and is done for a month.

Transactions: Wood and Orze go on the IL, Walt Khattak comes off it and we purchased the contract of veteran OF Ian Happ from Durham.

Game 3: 12-4 W. WP-Evans (4-0, 5 2 2 1 1 11). HR-Santana (44), Haro (12), Rivera (17). Nelson Haro had a monster game, going 3-5 with the homer and 5 RBI while Santana drove in 4 as the Rays outscored the worst team in baseball 32-7 in the sweep. Meanwhile Donye Evans continues to be a revelation in the rotation.

Team record: 85-67. We're now 4 up in the first wild card over Boston and have a magic number of only 3 to clinch a playoff spot. Next up: Our interleague odyssey continues with 3 in Cincinnati against the 64-88 Reds.
