June 9-11, 2031: at Chicago White Sox (3)

Game 1: 1-2 L. LP-Acosta (1-1, 4.1 3 2 2 4 3). HR-E.Green (7). Seems like whenever Elijah Green leads off the game with a homer that's the only run they score and today was an example. At least Nelson Haro was on base all three times with a double, single and a walk.

Game 2: 1-2 L. LP-Armenta (3-2). Starter-German (6 5 0 0 1 4). A tougher loss than yesterday's as they took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the 8th before Armenta, who had only allowed 2 runs all season coming in, gave up a 2-run homer to Antonio Anderson to lose it. Of course one run on three hits isn't usually a winning prescription.

Game 3: 4-7 L. LP-Evans (2-4, 4 6 6 6 2 6, 3 HR). HR-Albies (8), Hardy (12). Donye Evans is still fanning people at a very high rate (48 in 28 IP) but when they make contact it leaves the park as after giving up 3 more longballs today that's now 8 in those same 28 innings. This year's Rays meanwhile are roadkill - the sweep makes them an awful 12-19 on the road as compared to 22-8 at home.

Team record: 34-27. The sweep dropped them back into second, 1/2 game behind Toronto, and while they're tied for the first wild card they're only 1 1/2 up on the fourth-place team. Next up: Thankfully back home against San Diego, atop the NL West with a similar 35-27 record.
