Transaction: In another attempt to get some production at DH, the revolving door has come full circle with Xavier Isaac back up from Durham and Yanier Diaz sent back to the Bulls. Isaac had the job the first half of the year, lost it to Hunter Owen who flopped, and then we went with Diaz, who didn't hit that much either.

September 22: Off-Day.

September 23: at LA Angels 1-0 W. WP-McClanahan (10-13, 6 3 0 0 3 5). S-Bautista (35). Mac and the bullpen made Rutschman's 1st-inning RBI groundout hold up for the duration and a much-needed win.

September 24: at LA Angels 7-3 W. WP-Pepiot (13-10, 5 3 0 0 3 4). The offense came to play with J.Lowe leading the way, driving in 3 runs on a pair of triple while Pepiot shook off his recent slump.

September 25: at LA Angels 3-6 L. LP-H.Smith (0-1). Starter-Senga (0.2 1 1 0 0). HR-Rutschman (25). Tough night for the Rays as Senga left in the first inning with a strained back and the rookie Smith was blasted for 5 runs in 2 1/3 IP.

September 26: at Baltimore 1-8 L. LP-Bradley (12-9, 5 5 6 6 2 5). HR-Paredes (24). Taj had one of his worst starts in an otherwise-excellent season as the Rays were routed by the O's, who clinched the AL East with the win.

September 27: at Baltimore 7-6 W. WP-Robertson (8-5). S-Bautista (36). Starter-Springs (3 5 6 6 3 3, 2 HR). HR-Isaac (12), Caminero (25), T.Hernandez (34). Things started off rough with Springs struggling while battling the flu but Caminero (a 2-run shot) and Teoscar (solo) went back-to-back in the 8th to give the Rays the win.

September 28: at Baltimore 3-2 W (10). WP-Bautista (10-5). S-M.Rodriguez (1). Starter-McClanahan (6 3 1 1 2 8). HR-C.Williams (21). After Adam gave up a solo homer in the 8th to Gunnar Henderson to let the Orioles tie it up the Rays got the winning run in the 10th on an error and fortunately did not waste a brilliant start from Mac while taking a rare series from Baltimore.

Team record: 91-65. In the race to secure WC1 the Rays reduced their magic number to 2 with the wins over Baltimore and with a week left in the season are strong favorite to host either Detroit or Minnesota to open the playoffs, as those two squads continue to trade first place in the AL Central. Next week: We wrap up the regular season at home with 3 against Toronto and 3 against Washington sandwiched around an off-day.

Players of the Week:

AL: Ryan McMahon (MIN), 9-21, 4 HR, 8 RBI
NL: Gabriel Moreno (ARI), 14-20, 1 HR, 9 RBI

MLB News: A couple of milestones were reached as Philly's Bryce Harper hit career homer #400 and the Mets' Francisco Lindor #300.
