May 15: Off-Day.

May 16: at Detroit 0-5 L
. LP-Pepiot (5-3, 4 5 2 2 2 5). Bats were held to six hits (half of which came from J.Lowe) and a 2-0 game went awry in the 6th when Detroit scored three.

May 17: at Detroit 13-6 W
. WP-Horton (3-1, 6 8 5 5 1 7). HR-J.Lowe 2 (7). Rays snapped their 5-game losing streak as the bats had a coming-out party. J.Lowe was 3-5 with 2 HR and 5 RBI while Mead drove in 3 including a 2-run double.

May 18: at Detroit 2-4 L. LP-Gasser (3-4, 5 7 4 4 2 4). HR-Campusano (1). Not much to say about this one, it stayed 4-2 from the 4th inning on.

May 19: vs Minnesota 2-5 L
. LP-H.Smith (3-4, 4.1 9 5 5 0 6). HR-Campusano (2). The Rays' struggles continued as they lost for the 8th time in their last 10 games. Smith in particular has succumbed to the sophomore slump with his ERA rising to 4.75 and he's now allowed 13 HR in only 55 IP after yielding two more tonight.

May 20: vs Minnesota 10-2 W
. WP-Bradley (6-2, 5.1 4 1 1 0 8). HR-Caminero (13). Finally some good news as the Rays had a laugher today led by Caminero who was 3-5 with a homer and 3 RBI and Cermak who was 2-3 with 2 doubles and 3 knocked in himself, backing the brilliant pitching of Bradley.

May 21: vs Minnesota 5-2 W. WP-Pepiot (6-3, 6.1 5 0 0 1 7). S-Bautista (8). HR-Cermak (7), Heim (2). Whaddya know, two wins in a row. Cermak's 3-run blast in the first got them going and Pepiot is on quite a roll now, allowing only two runs in his last 25.1 IP over four starts.

Team record: 26-22
, 5 behind Boston but tied for the second wild card 1 1/2 games ahead of Seattle. Next week: Texas visits for 4 games before we head to Coors Field for 3 against the Rockies.

Players of the Week
:

AL: Jonny DeLuca (CLE), 10-29, 3 HR, 14 RBI. All he's done since we dumped him on Cleveland the winter before last is hit 40 homers in 196 games.

NL: Shohei Ohtani (LA), 10-22, 4 HR, 10 RBI. His pitching has been poor this year though with a 6.98 ERA.
