Transaction: Placed 1B Nelson Haro on the 10-day IL with an abdominal strain, recalled 1B Evan Bell from AAA Durham.

As mentioned in the last post Haro will be out 6-7 weeks. Getting a shot at replacing him is Bell, our 5th-round pick in 2027 who's climbed the ladder one rung at a time and has put up modest but decent numbers in the high minors. He is rated 55 contact and power so he should be able to provide some production.

Game 1: 3-5 L (12). LP-Ogando (1-1). Starter-Khattak (6 6 3 3 1 3). HR-Rutschman (7). A tough one to lose as after Khattak was hit for 3 runs in the first inning and the Rays trailed 3-1 after 7, they scored in the 8th and tied it on Adley's solo homer leading off the 9th. Alas Ogando and Little made a mess in the 12th to lose it.

Game 2: 1-0 W. See below as it was more than a typical 1-0 game:

Yes, an honest-to-goodness no-hitter courtesy of Dakota Stone, who needed all of his 123 pitches to hurl what I believe is the first Rays no-hitter in this save which is in its 12th season (I'm not going to go through all the pages of this thread to confirm). Stone was our big offseason rotation addition and he struggled in his first few starts before pitching a good game his previous time out and today of course he took the cake. The problem for most of the game though was that the bats couldn't score for him, but finally in the 8th Rutschman came through with an RBI single to make it 1-0. I seriously considered going to the bullpen since the first priority was to win the game and Stone was in the red at 112 pitches. But I decided to take it batter-by-batter in the 9th and he struck out the first and final batters of the inning, whiffing Jackson Holliday to end it and finish the gem.

Game 3: 4-6 L. LP-Green (0-1). Starter-Stevenson (5 3 3 3 3 2). Rays came back to tie it a 4 in the 7th only for Green to give up a 2-run homer in the 8th to lose it. Yordan was 3-4 with an RBI to lead the offense as the Rays failed to capitalize on the momentum of last night's no-hitter and dropped the series to Detroit.

Team record: 13-6. The Yankees' insane start to the season continued with a sweep so they're now 16-4 and 2 1/2 up on the Rays. Next up: Toronto visits for 3 games.
