June 3-5, 2031: vs LA Angels (3)

Game 1: 6-4 W. WP-Onyshko (2-0). S-R.Rodriguez (14). Starter-German (0.1 1 2 2 1 0). HR-Albies (6). A wild game that saw the Rays score 3 in the 8th to reverse a 4-3 Angels lead with Rodolfo Solano's 2-run double the winning hit. Earlier German was ejected in the 1st for hitting a batter after giving up a 2-run homer and Taj went 6.1 4 1 1 2 8 in long relief. Albies had a 3-run homer in the 3rd to erase an early 3-0 LA lead.

Transaction: German was suspended for 6 games and placed on the restricted list with Christian Rodriguez back up from Durham. As we were using 6 starters anyway, it's no biggie.

Game 2: 2-1 W. WP-Armenta (3-1). S-Ogando (3). Starter-Acosta (5.1 5 0 0 1 7). HR-G.Henderson (8), Solano (5). Rodolfo Solano was the 8th-inning hero again with a solo homer to break a 1-1 tie. Acosta was brilliant again in the rotation and looks like a fixture there now.

Game 3: 1-0 W. WP-Evans (2-3, 6 2 0 0 3 11). S-R.Rodriguez (15). Rays made it 9 of their last 10 while consigning the Angels to their 9th straight defeat in another squeaker at the Trop. The lone run came in the 4th on a David Weathers wild pitch as he and Donye Evans had quite the duel with Evans turning in his best start of the season.

Team record: 31-24, now tied with the slumping Jays atop the AL East and 3 games up with Toronto on the rest of the wild card field. Next up: The homestand continues with 3 against 33-22 Houston.
