September 26-28, 2031: at San Antonio (3)

Game 1: 8-4 W (10). WP-Ogando (6-5). Starter-Khattak (4.1 7 4 4 3 2). HR-Caminero (20). Khattak's lousy start put them in a 4-1 hole but they chipped away, tying it on Victor Mesa's pinch-single in the 8th and winning it on Rodolfo Solano's bases-clearing double in the 10th.

Game 2: 4-2 W (10). WP-R.Rodriguez (1-5). Starter-German (5 3 1 1 1 8). HR-Franco (14). Alistair Hardy's RBI single gave the Rays another 10-inning win as German was excellent and so was then pen except for Ogando, who gave up a tying HR in the 8th.

Game 3: 4-6 L. LP-Eldridge (7-11, 3 5 5 4 4 3). HR-Franco (15). Eldridge was awful and this time there was no extra-inning comeback.

Team record: 86-69. Fortunately winning 2 of 3 didn't result in them losing ground this go-round as the Jays finally lost a game to stay 1/2 back. Next up: 4 games in Baltimore as we head into the week's final season.

MLB Playoff Race Update
: The White Sox and Mariners have already clinched the Central and West, leaving the Rays-Jays battle for the East the only one at the top. The loser and the Yankees should claim the top 2 wild cards with a 3-way race between Minnesota and Kansas City (tied) and Cleveland (1 1/2 back of both) for the third. In the NL Washington and San Diego are division winners with the Cubs 1 1/2 up on the Cards in the Central. The Central loser, Philly and Atlanta (the latter 3 up on the Mets) should be the wild cards.

MLB News: Milestone time for Atlanta's Matt Olsen (HR #400) and Houston's Anthony Rendon (hit #2500).
