September 15-17, 2031: at Cleveland (3)

Game 1: 3-6 L. LP-Ogando (4-5). Starter-Acosta (4 3 2 2 3 4). HR-Solano (19). It was a 3-3 game in the 8th before Ogando couldn't find the plate, walking three including one with the bases loaded and an error figured in suddenly making it 6-3 Cleveland.

Game 2: 1-10 L. LP-German (10-7, 5 4 4 4 4 6). The Rays stunk at the plate (4 hits) and on the mound as well (Ben Onyshko almost single-handedly turned a 2-1 game into a 9-1 game in the 5th).

Game 3: 3-4 L. LP-Eldridge (7-10, 4 6 4 4 2 8). HR-Hardy (27), Cedillos (3). A miserable three days in Cleveland concluded with the Rays unable to recover from Eldridge allowing 3 runs in the first, although they had their chances to tie or go ahead including a man on 3rd in the 9th.

Team record: 79-67
. The losing finally caught up with them as Toronto moved into 1st place by 1/2 game, and they're only 1 up on the Yankees now as well which may decide who gets to host a wild card series (they're likely playing one either way as the East leader is 3-4 games back of the other two). Next up: 3 games at home vs Boston, and these are the final home games on the schedule as they'll play the final 13 on the road, which doesn't bode well given they're a .692 team at the Trop and a .367 squad on the road (ouch!). They might be lucky just to make the playoffs (currently 4 1/2 up in the wild card).
