April 7: at Texas 7-6 W (11). WP-Bautista (1-0). S-N.Robertson (1). Starter-Headrick (3 5 6 6 3 3). HR-Paredes (2), Westburg (1), P.Meadows (1). It looked like "here we go again" when Texas went up 6-2 after 4, but the offense chipped away while the pen held, and the ghost runner scored the winner on a wild pitch in the 11th after Campusano's RBI single in the 8th tied it.

April 8: at Texas 0-2 L. LP-McClanahan (0-2, 7 3 2 2 1 6). Mac was much better this time out but the offense wasn't, managing only 3 hits and shut down by Jacob deGrom.

April 9: at Texas 3-5 L. LP-Springs (0-2, 5 6 3 3 2 7). HR-Rutschman (2), T.Hernandez (1), Isaac (1). The miserable start to 2026 continued as they came up wanting in all phases tonight.

April 10: Off-Day.

April 11: at Boston 9-11 L. LP-Bradley (1-1, 4.2 7 6 6 3 6). HR-Rutschman (3), Isaac (2), T.Hernandez (2), Caminero (1). An early 4-0 lead turned into an 11-5 deficit as Taj was the polar opposite of his previous start. The offense got them back into it late but it wasn't enough. Caminero's homer in the 9th snapped an amazing 0-28 start to the season.

April 12: at Boston 4-3 W (10). WP-Bautista (2-0). Starter-Headrick (5.2 3 2 2 2 8). HR-Paredes (3). Finally back in the win column but it wasn't easy as Bautista blew a 3-2 lead in the 9th before Yandy's RBI single in the 10th restored the lead and gave them the win. Bautista stayed on to hold Boston off the board in the bottom of the inning.

April 13: at Boston 8-3 W. WP-McClanahan (1-2, 5.2 5 1 0 2 8). HR-Rutschman (4), Isaac (3), Yandy Diaz (1). Yandy was 3-5 with the homer and 3 RBI while Rutschman, Isaac and Teoscar all had 3 hits as well and drove in a run as the Rays won consecutive games for the first time this season. Mac was fantastic as we skipped Pepiot because of Boston's lefty-heavy lineup.

Team record: 4-6, 3 behind Baltimore in the early going. Next week: We finally get some home games as we take on the other Bay Area with Oakland and San Francisco each coming to the Trop for 3 games sandwiched around an off day.

Players of the Week:

AL: Taylor Ward (LA), 10-22, 4 HR, 8 RBI
NL: Graham Pauley (SD), 16-26, 2 HR, 5 RBI

Rays news: Houston released lefty reliever Josh Hader, and we signed him to a minor league contract. Hader still has 70 stuff albeit with 40 control but he could give us a second lefty in the bullpen especially with Jacob Lopez off to a horrible start (7 runs in 1 2/3 innings over his last two appearances).
