June 13-15, 2031: vs San Diego (3)
Game 1: 4-1 W. WP-Khattak (7-3, 6.1 6 1 1 1 4). S-R.Rodriguez (17). HR-Caminero (5), Y.Alvarez (6). Back home and back in the win column thanks to a fine outing from Khattak, a couple of solo shots, and some insurance runs in the 8th.
Game 2: 8-4 W. WP-Okuda (2-0). Starter-Bradley (5 7 4 4 0 6). A 4-run rally in the 8th won it for the Rays with pinch-hitter Victor Mesa drawing a bases-loaded walk to break the tie and a 2-run Solano single icing it. They scored 8 despite managing only one extra-base hit, a double.
Game 3: 3-2 W. WP-Okuda (3-0). S-R.Rodriguez (18). Starter-Acosta (5 5 2 2 0 9). HR-Franco (2), Hardy (13). The offense did nothing today outside of the 7th but it was enough as Wander led off the inning with a homer and Hardy later followed with a 2-run shot as quality pitching ruled the day for Tampa Bay again at home.
Team record: 37-27, back in first by 1 1/2 on Toronto which dropped two of three in San Francisco. Those same Giants are our next opponents, coming to the Trop for 3 games.
