April 23-25, 2032: at LA Angels (3)

Game 1: 2-3 L. LP-Acosta (1-1, 5.2 5 3 3 2 7). HR-Rivera (2). A team that a week ago was 9-2 and looked like a juggernaut is now 9-9 after 7 straight losses on the road, the latest coming to the lowly Angels who were 4-13 coming in. A 2-1 lead was lost in the 6th when former Ray Max Viera hit a 2-run homer.

Game 2: 14-5 W. WP-Eldridge (2-0, 7 6 4 3 1 6). HR-Haro (2), Y.Alvarez (5), Caminero (4). The Rays finally stopped the rot as the bats exploded for 14 runs on 17 hits. Caminero doubled, homered and drove in 5, Yordan did likewise knocking in 4, and Haro had 3 hits and tied a team record scoring 5 runs.

Game 3: 6-3 W. WP-Okuda (3-1, 6 0 0 0 1 5). HR-Kurkowa (1). Okuda ad two relievers no-hit the Angels through 8 before Cody Holcombe gave up a hit in the 9th, and then two more including a homer but it didn't matter. 32-year-old "rookie" Norietsu Kurokawa got a rare start and came through with his first MLB homer, a 3-run shot to cap a 4-run first.

Team record: 11-9, 4th but 1 1/2 off the lead in a tight AL East. Next up: We finally return home for 3 against the Yankees, who at 10-10 are bringing up the rear.
