July 7: vs Texas 9-8 W (10). WP-Adam (3-2). Starter-Bradley (5 7 4 4 2 6, 3 HR). HR-J.Lowe (5), Rutschman (18). A really wild one at the Trop with the Rays battling back from deficits of 3-0 and 6-3 to go up 7-6 in the 7th before Bautista blew the save in the 9th and they fell behind in the top of the 10th. No worries though as Rutschman's RBI double followed by Teoscar's RBI single won it. Adley was 3-5 with a homer and 3 RBI on the day.

July 8: vs Texas 3-7 L. LP-Pepiot (7-6, 5 3 3 3 4 3). HR-T.Hernandez (18), DeLuca (4). Rays were never really in this one.

July 9: vs Texas 5-4 W. WP-Rock (3-1, 7 5 4 4 0 7). S-Hader (2). HR-Westburg (4), T.Hernandez (19). This looked like a possible replay of the first game as it was 5-4 after only 4, but that's where the scoring stopped. Westburg and Teoscar had 2-run homers in the first to lead the offense while Hader went two innings for the save.

July 10: vs Texas 3-4 L. LP-Adam (3-3). Starter-McClanahan (6 4 3 3 4 6). Despite rallying with 3 in the 6th to tie the game Adam gave up a homer to Anthony Santander in the 7th to lose it and Tampa Bay had to settle for a split of the 4-game series.

July 11: at Oakland 3-2 W. WP-Robertson (3-3). S-Bautista (22). Starter-Springs (6.2 2 2 1 0 11). HR-J.Lowe (6). A dominant outing from Springs almost went for naught before the Rays eked out a pair of runs in the 8th to pull out the win. Oakland pitchers loaded the bases with walks after 2 out and nobody on in the 8th and Teoscar obliged with a 2-run single to provide the winning margin.

July 12: at Oakland 4-7 L. LP-Bradley (8-4, 5 9 6 5 1 6). HR-Cermak (1), B.Jones (5). Another rough outing for Taj and this one wasn't as close as the final score might indicate. Lone bright spot was the first major league homer for rookie Cermak.

July 13: at Oakland 4-1 W. WP-Pepiot (8-6, 5 4 1 1 3 4). S-Bautista (23). HR-B.Jones (6), Paredes (14). Pepiot and the pen got the job done and Jones had a big 2-run homer in the 2nd which put the Rays ahead to stay. Paredes grounded into double plays his first three times up but then provided an insurance homer in the 8th.

Team record: 55-37. The mediocre week saw us fall 5 behind the Orioles in the division chase but still with a strong hold on the first wild card. Next week: a day off before 3 in San Diego and 3 in LA against the Dodgers as we close out the west coast trip ahead of the All-Star break.

Players of the Week:

AL: Riley Greene (DET), 12-23, 2 HR, 10 RBI
NL: Noelvi Marte (CIN), 10-27, 2 HR, 4 RBI

MLB News: Mets slugger Pete Alonso hit career homer #300.

We also had the amateur draft during the Oakland series, and the next post will look at our top picks.
