Game 1: 9-8 W. WP-Okuda (4-4). S-Diaz (30). Starter-Swanda (4 6 6 4 4 2). HR-Albies 2 (21), Rivera (18), Caminero (25). Ozzie Albies' 2nd homer of the game was an 8th-inning slam to erase an 8-5 deficit and give the Rays a win in a real back-and-forth affair. It was 8-3 when Caminero hit a 2-run shot and Albies ended the game with 5 RBI.

Game 2: 7-6 W. WP-Cousins (2-1). S-Riley (7). Starter-Evans (4 5 4 4 1 8). HR-Franco (26), Santana (45), R.Castillo (4). Deja vu all over again as back-to-back homers from Santana and Castillo put the Rays ahead in the 8th for another late comeback win. Wander was 3-4 with 3 RBI, including a homer and a double. Donye Evans had his first "bad" start as a Ray but he still fanned 8 in 4 innings.

Game 3: 8-13 L. LP-Eldridge (11-9, 2.2 9 10 10 2 2). HR-Franco (27), E.Green (17). No comebacks today as Eldridge (you read his line right) put the Rays in a 10-3 hole which the gamely tried to dig out of but even 8 runs wouldn't be enough. Green knocked in 3 with a 2-run double and solo homer and Caminero had a 2-run double.

Game 4: 8-4 W. WP-Dodson (5-3). S-Diaz (31). Starter-German (4.2 9 3 3 1 4). Rays picked up win #90 in another high-scoring affair with the Yankees. Wander and Caminero were each 3-4 with 2 RBI with Wander scoring 3 runs and Albies was 3-5 with a double.

Team record: 90-69. We did cut the division lead to 3 with 3 games left but since Toronto won the season series from us 8-6 (it seemed like 12-2) they clinched the division. No matter though as the Rays did clinch the #1 wild card and will host an opponent TBD in the Wild Card Round. Next up: Detroit comes to the Trop to close out the regular season in a trio of meaningless games.

MLB Playoff Race Update: The playoff fields are essentially set but Minnesota and Cleveland remain tied for the AL Central lead and they also sit in the #2 wild card spot, a game ahead of Boston. Atlanta is a game up on the Mets in the AL East, the loser of that division will be the #1 wild card.
