June 16-18, 2031: vs San Francisco (3)
Game 1: 5-4 W. WP-Armstrong (2-0). S-R.Rodriguez (19). Starter-Evans (4 6 4 3 2 3). HR-Solano (6), Haro (6), Albies (9). Rays pulled off the comeback from 4-1 down with Haro's solo shot in the 6th tying it and Albies' winning it.
Game 2: 4-7 L. LP-Eldridge (3-5, 6 7 5 5 3 2). HR-Solano (7), G.Henderson (10). Eldridge reverted to his poor early-season form and the pen let it get out of hand, making some late offense meaningless as the Rays suffered a rare loss of late.
Game 3: 3-1 W. WP-Khattak (8-3, 8 2 1 1 2 9). S-R.Rodriguez (20). HR-Franco (3), Rivera (4). Khattak was brilliant in one of his best-ever outings and Angel Rivera's 3rd-inning homer was the winner as the Rays took the series.
Team record: 39-28. With Toronto losing 2 of 3 in LA to the Dodgers the Rays upped their division lead to 2 1/2 games. Next up: An off-day then we'll try to do something about our poor road record with 3 games against the struggling (27-40) Tigers in Detroit.
MLB News: Both the Mets' Jorge Polanco and Toronto's Bo Bichette reached the 300-homer mark.
