Game 1: 8-2 W. WP-Evans (11-5, 6 2 1 1 3 8). HR-Caminero (21), Rivera (8), Hardy (28). Rays were up 4-0 by the 2nd on 2-run homers from Caminero and Rivera and rolled from there behind the red-hot Evans, whose combined line over his past three starts is 20 6 3 3 4 36 (not a typo).

Game 2: 7-4 W (12). WP-R.Rodriguez (2-5). S-Armstrong (2). Starter-Acosta (5 6 4 4 1 7). HR-Albies (18), Caminero (22), Solano (21). Rays scored single runs in the 7th & 8th to tie it and then won it in the 12th on a 3-run shot from Rodolfo Solano, who is a 20-30 guy at 21 HR and 35 SB in his first season with Tampa Bay.

Game 3: 5-3 W. WP-Khattak (14-9, 6 6 1 1 1 3). S-Okuda (1). Rays made it three straight over the O's thanks to a 4-run 5th and some good pitching from Khattak and Okuda, the latter retiring the final 7 men of the game with 5 via the whiff for his first save with the pen tired from last night's extra-inning tilt. Yordan Alvarez had the big hit with a 2-run double in that 5th.

Game 4: 3-0 W. WP-German (11-7, 6 4 0 0 0 9). S-R.Rodriguez (34). HR-Rivera (9). Ladies and gentlemen, your 2031 AL East Champion Tampa Bay Rays! With Toronto losing a pair in San Diego the Rays opened up a 3-game lead with only 3 games left and thanks to beating the Jays in the season series 8-6 they are division winners. In fact they're also now tied with the White Sox for the all-important #2 seed and a bye through the wild card round. (They split their season series but Chicago has a better intradivisional record so they'll have to finish ahead of them). Today's game saw a gem from German and another big 2-run double from Yordan for the win.

Team record: 90-69. Next up: We'll close out the regular season with 3 in Fenway against the Sox. Before this marathon 13-game road trip to conclude the season began, I feared for this team given their poor away record but they've gone 8-2 so far on it and won the division with 3 games to spare. Now to play for a bye.
