A good weekend for the Rays as they took 2 of 3 in Cleveland while the Jays lost 2 of 3, growing the division lead to 4 games over Toronto.

And it could have been an even better weekend had they not squandered a 4-0 lead in the opener and lost 5-4 in 13 innings to the Guardians. Joe Stack had a 2-run double and Alex Rivas a solo homer (#4) to build that early lead but a key Justin Blackwell error halved that lead and left Nick Wallerstedt at 5.1 6 2 0 0 6. Ruben Abeyta then gave up a 2-run homer in the 7th to blow the lead and Mike Moore (0-2) walked the bases loaded in the 13th and then gave up a walk-off infield single to lose the game.

The Rays nearly blew an early 4-0 lead again in the second game but managed to hold on for a 5-4 win to even up their series with Cleveland. Joe Marlette (10-2) was dominant at 6 4 1 1 0 11 but Jake Bridgewater gave up 2 runs to make it 4-3 and after the Rays added an insurance run they'd end up needing, Alden Segui gave one up in the 9th but still netted his first Rays save. Danny Charlton had a big day at the plate against his old team, going 3-4 with a double and a 2-run homer (#18) while Luis Berumen went solo with #7.

Tampa Bay scored 3 times in the 7th to overturn a 4-3 Cleveland lead and went on to a 7-4 win over the Guardians to take the series. Luis Cisneros' sac fly was the tiebreaker and Bobby Marin added an RBI single to make it 6-4 as six different Rays knocked in a run. Willie Gutierrez wasn't one of them but doubled three times and scored twice. Jordan Rodriguez had a rough start (3 7 4 4 3 4) with the win going to Friday's loser Mike Moore (1-2) and Eric Lewis notching save #14.

Team record: 46-29. Next up: A 2-game series at home against Baltimore.

MLB News: Toronto's Spencer Torkelson, already in the 500-homer club, banged out career hit #2000.
