April 5-7, 2030: at Texas (3)
Game 1: 3-1 W (10). WP-R.Rodriguez (1-1). S-Okuda (1). Starter-Khattak (6 5 1 0 2 2). HR-Santana (1). Santana's 2-run homer in the 10th won it for the Rays after a well-pitched game as the Rays made it two straight wins after opening the season with three losses.
Game 2: 2-3 L (10). LP-Okuda (0-1). Starter-German (7 3 1 1 1 7). HR-Arakawa (2). Rays took a 2-1 lead into the 8th before Aldry Acosta gave up his second critical homer in three outings this year and they lost it in 10. The bats were lame again with only 6 hits.
Game 3: 4-5 L (12). LP-Sears (0-1). Starter-Bradley (4 10 3 3 2 3, 2 HR). Once again the bullpen failed as Trey Riley gave up the tying homer in the 8th just like Acosta did yesterday and for the second straight day they lost on a sac fly. Bradley was horrid for the second time in as many starts but they fought back to go ahead 4-3 on a 2-run Santana triple.
Team record: 2-5. We're 29th out of 30 in the power rankings which is fitting since this team is punchless so far. Yordan Alvarez is hitting 125/300/125, and that's including a nice opening day. Next up: 3 games in Detroit.
