July 14-20, 2026
July 14: Off-Day.
July 15: at San Diego 4-3 W. WP-M.Rodriguez (4-0). S-Bautista (24). Starter-Rock (4.2 3 2 2 3 3). HR-T.Hernandez (20), C.Williams (11). Carson's 2-run homer in the 7th broke a 2-2 tie in the Rays' favor as they made it 3 wins in 4 to start the road trip.
July 16: at San Diego 3-4 L. LP-J.Lopez (4-1). Starter-McClanahan (5.2 4 3 3 4 5). HR-J.Lowe (7). Lowe's 2-run homer tied it up at 3 in the 7th but Lopez gave it back in the bottom of the inning and the Rays lost by the same score they won by the day before.
July 17: at San Diego 1-3 L. LP-Springs (5-7, 5.2 6 3 3 3 5). Rays struggled to get any offense going, shut down by San Diego's Dylan Lesko (a current Rays farmhand IRL).
July 18: at LA Dodgers 1-3 L. LP-Bradley (8-5, 5 1 2 2 2 2 8). HR-T.Hernandez (21). Another night of struggles at the plate as they were held to only two hits by Dustin May and company. Taj pitched very well with his only mistake a 2-run Chas McCormick homer.
July 19: at LA Dodgers 10-11 L. LP-Pepiot (8-7, 3 6 5 5 5 2, 3 HR). HR-C.Williams 2 (13), J.Lowe (8), B.Jones (7), T.Hernandez (22). The good news: they finally scored some runs! 10 of em, in fact. The bad news of course is that the pitching gave up 11 and forced them to come back from 11-4 down. The cycle is kind of a freak stat and you can have much better games than that as Carson Williams tonight as he doubled, tripled and instead of singling homered twice to give him a 4-4, 4-RBI night. Sadly it was for naught.
July 20: at LA Dodgers 2-4 L. LP-Rock (3-2, 4.2 7 3 3 3 2). HR-Paredes (15). Nobody is happier to see the All-Star break come than the Rays, who ended a road trip that began 3-1 with five straight losses. Today it was the paltry offense serving as the main culprit again.
Team record: 56-42. The losing skein now sees them 7 behind the Orioles in the division and their grip on the first wild card spot slipping. After the break they'll be back home for 3 against Cleveland.
Players of the Week:
AL: Masataka Yoshida (BOS), 10-21, 3 HR, 6 RBI
NL: Mookie Betts (LA), 10-21, 4 HR, 13 RBI (a good chunk of that against us)
