August 29-31, 2031: at Oakland (3)
Game 1: 8-7 W. WP-Ogando (3-4). Starter-Khattak (1.1 7 5 5 1 1). HR-Alvarez (13), E.Green (11), Franco (11). Rays overcame another brutal start from Khattak and Ogando blowing an 8th-inning lead thanks to Wander's tiebreaking homer in the 9th. Elijah Green's 3-run shot in the 6th brought them back into the game.
Game 2: 5-7 L. LP-German (9-5, 3.2 7 4 4 2 5). HR-Caminero (17). More bad pitching, from German and Cody Holcombe in his Rays debut (2 runs on 3 hits in an inning of work). Usually we play low-scoring games in Oakland but not this series.
Game 3: 4-12 L. LP-Acosta (4-3, 2 7 6 4 4 3). HR-Alvarez (14). Our pitching, which has been stellar most of the year, completely deserted us in this series against a bad Oakland team. Acosta has been garbage in the two starts since getting the big contract extension.
Team record: 72-58. Toronto took 2 of 3 to move back within 1/2 game of us. Next up: Home for a pair against Miami.
