Game 1: 5-2 W. WP-E.Alcantara (2-3). S-R.Rodriguez (8). HR-Alvarez 2 (9). Starter-German (2 2 2 2 0 2). Luis German left with a blister, forcing a bullpen game on us which the staff handled well and Yordan Alvarez had a huge game with 2 homers including a 3-run shot which turned the game around in the 3rd.

Game 2: 5-4 W (13). WP-Orze (1-0). Starter-Bradley (7 5 1 1 1 11). HR-Franco (4), Arakawa (8). Rays had a 4-1 lead in this one behind a dominant outing for Taj but the pen blew it the late innings sending us to extras where Caminero's sac fly thankfully won it in the end. Wander, who came into the game with a miserable 205/283/329 slash line and is one of the main reasons for the team's struggles, had a nice night with a double, homer and 2 RBI.

Game 3: 6-5 W. WP-V.Gonzalez (2-0). Starter-Eldridge (5.1 6 3 3 2 4). HR-Wood (6), Franco (5). For the second straight day the pen blew a late lead and for the second straight day the offense picked them up as Wander's walk-off shot in the bottom of the 9th got Victor Gonzalez and Tanner Dodson off the hook as they combined to allow Toronto to tie with a pair in the top of the inning. Amed Rosario's 2-run triple was the big early hit.

Transaction: German went on the IL with his blister which will keep him out a couple of week. Erovis Alcantara will take his spot in the rotation and we purchased the contract of reliever Benjamin Buckman from Durham. Buckman is the first player from our 2028 draft to make the big club as the 5th-rounder was closing at Durham, and that is the curious case of Benjamin Buckman.

Game 4: 3-2 W. WP-Evans (3-3, 6 3 2 2 2 7). S-Riley (3). This is the most schizophrenic team I've had in a save and lately they either sweep or get swept. This time it was the former as a 3-run 3rd was enough to ensure victory with RBI singles from rookie Cade Arrambide and Nelson Haro and a bases-loaded walk to Yordan Alvarez supplying the offense while Donye Evans turned in his best start in a while.

Team record: 24-25. And suddenly we're only 1 game out of the third wild card, which happens to be the Jays we just took 4 from. Next up: 3 games in Kansas City. Will they be swept? Will they sweep? Who knows?
