August 3-5, 2035: at Toronto (3)
Game 1: 12-4 W. WP-Fragoso (3-1). Starter-Buckman (4 5 3 3 4 3). HR-K.White 3 (38), Campagne (1/6). It was the Kevin White show as the slugging 3B belted a trio of taters and extended his lead atop the AL leaderboard with 38. He drove in 6 on the day including a 2-run shot in a 6-run 6th which broke the game open. Haro had a 2-run triple in that inning and Campagne hit his first Rays round-tripper.
Transaction: New closer Darwin Cruz, injured in the first game after coming over in trade a few weeks ago, comes off the IL and Manny Ecehavarria is optioned to Durham.
Game 2: 3-4 L. LP-Lee (1-3). Starter-Lennon (6.1 6 3 3 2 10). HR-Castro (13). Rays couldn't hold a 3-1 lead in this one and Toronto got the winner in the bottom of the 8th off Lee. Perez was 3-3 with an RBI double.
Game 3: 2-1 W. WP-Whitehead (1-6, 5 4 1 1 3 3). S-D.Cruz (2/21). HR-Gurrola (20), Pino (26). Rays got that pair of homers in the 6th to win the game for Whitehead, who made a very good fill-in start with Najera on the IL. Maybe he's better suited for the rotation.
Team record: 70-42, 9 1/2 up on Baltimore. Next up: An off-day to return home where Texas awaits for 3 games.
