April 18-20, 2031: at Milwaukee (3)

Transaction: Yordan Alvarez goes on the IL with his oblique strain and Manny Tovar is called up from Durham. Tovar will play LF against RHP while Rodolfo Solano will become an everyday player and play LF against lefties.

Game 1: 5-0 W. WP-German (2-1, 5 2 0 0 4 7). HR-Hardy (3), Albies (2). Ozzie Albies' 3-run homer in the 6th broke open a 1-0 game and the Rays dropped Milwaukee to 1-10 to start the season.

Game 2: 6-4 W
. WP-Armstrong (1-0). S-R.Rodriguez (3). Starter-Acosta (5 5 3 3 2 3, 2 HR). HR-E.Green (1), Cedillos (2). Isaac Cedillos' 8th-inning grand slam turned a 4-2 deficit into a 6-4 win. Aldry Acosta's first start wasn't great but it wasn't terrible either.

Game 3: 4-0 W. WP-Khattak (3-0, 8 4 0 0 1 5). HR-Caminero (2), Luciano (1). Walt Khattak was brilliant in leading the Rays to a sweep and sending Milwaukee to its 10th straight defeat and a 1-12 start to 2031. Luciano got a start for the slumping Gunnar Henderson (116/174/279, nothing of note since Opening Day) and had an RBI double and a solo homer to lead the offense.

Team record: 9-4. We're tied atop the AL East with our perennial nemesis Toronto. Next up: The 6-7 Yankees visit the Trop for 4 games and will be without the best pitcher in baseball as Robert Ahlstrom is suffering from a dead arm and went on the IL.
