April 16-18, 2032: at Texas (3)
Game 1: 4-1 W. WP-Buckman (1-1). S-R.Rodriguez (4). Starter-Evans (5 1 0 0 2 8). HR-Cedillos 2 (4). Neither team had a hit in this game until the 5th when the Rangers got one off Donye, then Cedillos homered in the 6th off Texas' Tarik Skubal for the first run, and after the Rangers tied it up Cedillos went deep again with a 3-run shot in the 8th to win it.
Game 2: 7-11 L. LP-Armenta (0-1). Starter-Khattak (4 6 5 5 1 2). HR-Mesa (4), Y.Alvarez (4). Rays fell behind 5-1, came back to lead 7-5, and then saw four relievers combine to allow 6 runs to lose it. Yordan had a nice game with an RBI double and a 2-run homer.
Game 3: 7-8 L (10). LP-Onyshko (0-1). Starter-Acosta (4.2 7 1 1 3 4). HR-Hardy (1). Another gut-wrenching loss as the Rays built a 5-1 lead, saw Texas come back to tie with a run off a wild Randy Rodriguez in the 9th (he walked 3 including one to force in the equalizer), then saw Alistair Hardy cap a 4-RBI day with a 2-run shot to put them back up 7-5 in the 10th only for Onyshko to give up a 2-out, 3-run walk-off homer to Corey Seager.
Team record: 9-4. Toronto swept its series so despite a fine record we're 1/2 back of them. Next up: The road trip continues with 4 at Yankee Stadium.
