Transactions: So Isaac (Xavier that is, not Paredes) is off to the IL for 6-7 weeks with his torn hamstring and Heston Kjerstad, hitting 360/429/640 with 13 homers at Durham, is recalled. Also lefty reliever Richard Lovelady comes off his rehab assignment and Luis Contreras is sent to the Bulls. To make room for Lovelady on the 40-man, C Rene Pinto is DFA'd.

June 2: at Detroit 0-2 L. LP-McClanahan (5-6, 5 6 2 2 2 4). Once again Mac doesn't get the support his rotation mates do as the bats only squeaked out three hits against Sawyer Gipson-Long and company.

June 3: at Detroit 8-6 W (10). WP-Bautista (5-2). Starter-Springs (6 6 1 1 2 5). HR-Yandy Diaz (7). What a strange game. The Rays trailed 1-0 going into the 7th as it was looking a lot like last night's affair, before they erupted for 6 runs capped by a Yandy grand slam. Up 6-1 going into the bottom of the 8th, Lovelady made a mess and Robertson made it worse, giving up a game-tying grand slam. But Teoscar's sac fly in the 10th and another run after that meant they ended up winning anyway.

June 4: at Detroit 8-3 W. WP-Bradley (6-2, 6.1 7 2 2 0 6). Taj was in good form and Carson Williams doubled, tripled and knocked in 4 to lead the way. Paredes also had a pair of RBI doubles.

June 5: Off-Day.

June 6: vs Chicago Cubs 5-3 W. WP-Robertson (2-2). S-Bautista (12). Starter-Pepiot (4.2 4 3 3 5 7). HR-Mead (7), Rutschman (12), Paredes (11). Mead's solo homer in the 7th tied it a 3 and Paredes broke that tie with a solo shot of his own in the 8th.

June 7: vs Chicago Cubs 4-3 W. WP-Hader (1-0). S-Bautista (13). Starter-Rock (4 3 3 3 5 4). HR-Caminero (10). Rays overcame another mediocre start to come back and beat the Cubs for the second straight night on Parker Meadows' sac fly in the 7th.

June 8: vs Chicago Cubs 1-2 L. LP-Adam (1-2). Starter-McClanahan (5 3 0 0 0 7). It took Mac 91 pitches to get through 5 and the bullpen let him down with Maldonado giving up a tying homer and Adam the winning dinger in the 8th. A frustrating day at the plate as they left 8 men on and hit into three double plays, the toughest of which saw them lose a bases-loaded, no-out opportunity on a 6-2-3 twin killing.

Team record: 35-24. Despite a good week Baltimore had an even better one and upped their division lead to 2 1/2 games. The Rays are now in the first wild card spot, 2 games ahead of Minnesota. Next week: The Yankees visit for 4 games then we head to Houston for 3.

Players of the Week:

AL: Wyatt Langford (TEX), 10-30, 4 HR, 11 RBI
NL: Pete Alonso (NY), 11-28, 4 HR, 9 RBI

MLB News: A couple of notable injuries. First off we won't be seeing Yordan Alvarez when we travel to Houston next week as he's out 7 weeks with a strained MCL. And in even worse injury news Seattle's Bryan Woo is lost for the year with a torn labrum.
